Boy, how I wish all questions where tat simple. The "Welcome to the frontpage" bit is a Joomla default page title that needs to be changed in the Joomla administration main menu > home > parameters > Title
Firebug can only help there to locate the title and identifying it as such but little else. But as I am writing this I realize you already figured it out. To answer another question, Firebug had a menu (previous version) that let you save the css file locally after you made changes. In the newer version I cannot find this any longer. However, while before when you went to look at the entire CSS file it would only display a few lines of code, looks like they fixed that in the latest version. Only now you cannot save it locally (or I have not found the place where you can) so it still is useless in that regard. Another problem I found with Firebug is that if you have a CSS line item rule already in the CSS file is easy to manipulate, but if you need to add a new line item rule or god forbid a brand new CSS statement in the file Firebug doesn't work very well. Ioften I write the new line of code and soon after it disappear. I have not found a way to add a new class or ID statement in the css at all. . For css changes to be saved locally I usually look for something with Firebug, then I use the web developer toolbar to actually make the CSS changes and then I save locally in my local site. However, it's not a really good system and I prefer to use Dreamweaver. If anyone is interested, I am writing a book on Dreamweaver, firebug, firefox and dynamic web development (J. in particular) that explains the entire set up to very rapidly make these kind of work using those aligned features in dreamweaver that once upon a time I hated but now I love because they make my work so much faster. Haven't found a better way of doing it. DW is my main "warhorse" and firebug and the web dev toolbar play support. What I would like to know is where I can find more resources on Firebug and Javascript troubleshooting. It is probably the last thing I need to learn to make my web development truly flawless. In Joomla I have some sites where the default JS files throw an error, but when I trace the error with Firebug all I get is a link inside Mootools or JQuery. There is nothing I can do there. If anyone has any good tutorials, let me know.
