If you liked the web developer extension, you'll love Firebug.

It gives a view of the inheritance cascade for each element you select
by listing which stylesheets and selectors (incl line numbers) each of
the styles comes from and also shows which ones are overridden by
others. You can hover over the colour numbers and background image
urls to see what they are, get the box sizes, paddings and margins
shaded (including ruler lines for lining stuff up), then edit all the
CSS values and HTML live on the page.

And that is only just scratching the surface.
