This middleware allows you to easily include the excellent debugging tool Firebug Lite in your projects. To install it, just add the middleware class to your list of installed middleware, pretty much anywhere in the list. If DEBUG is True, and your IP address is in the list of INTERNAL_IPS, Firebug Lite will load. It will, however, only load in browsers that are not Firefox, as I'm assuming that you have the real Firebug installed in Firefox. If you don't, go install it--what's wrong with you?

Check out http://getfirebug.com/lite.html for more information.

Somehow the language got set to JavaScript, and now I can't change it, but I assure you it is Python.
