I’ve been a huge fan of Fireworks since I started using it for web designs over a decade ago when it was still in the hands of Macromedia. Unfortunately Adobe, who bought Macromedia and their suite of software, announced they would discontinue the software last year.

I also do most of my debugging by using the Firebug plugin for Firefox.
