+Using Firefox for scraping
+==========================

+
+Caveats with inspecting the live browser DOM
+============================================
+
+Since Firefox add-ons operate on a live browser DOM, what you'll actually see
+when inspecting the page source is not the original HTML, but a modified one
+after applying some browser clean up and executing Javascript code.  Firefox,
+in particular, is known for adding ``<tbody>`` elements to tables.  Scrapy, on
+the other hand, does not modify the original page HTML, so you won't be able to
+extract any data if you use ``<tbody`` in your XPath expressions. 
+
+Therefore, you should keep in mind the following things when working with
+Firefox and XPath:
+
+* Disable Firefox Javascript while inspecting the DOM looking for XPaths to be
+  used in Scrapy
+
+* Never use full XPath paths, use relative and clever ones based on attributes
+  (such as ``id``, ``class``, ``width``, etc) or any identifying features like
+  ``contains(@href, 'image')``.
+
+* Never include ``<tbody>`` elements in your XPath expressions unless you
+  really know what you're doing

 Tamper Data

 `Tamper Data`_ is a Firefox add-on which allows you to view and modify the HTTP
 request headers sent by Firefox. Firebug also allows to view HTTP headers, but
