Firebug 1.7 works great in Firefox 3.6. However we do not plan to
change the 1.7 minVersion setting on
addons.mozilla.org at this time.
Such a change would cause all existing Firefox 3.6 users to update to
1.7.0, but we do not feel that 1.7 has had sufficient testing to auto-
update all users.
Of course this is not the perfect upgrade result. We would have
preferred to have a longer 1.7 beta period so we could have confidence
in 1.7.0 for all users. Unfortunately we had only a few weeks between
the time Firefox 4.0 reached beta quality (b10) and their final
release. (Firefox team plans to avoid repeating the 4.0 approach).
Rather than no Firebug, Firefox 4.0 users will get a Firebug that
works with 4.0, has no known serious bugs, and which has had some beta
testing.
Users on Firefox 3.6 are probably not updating to FF4.0 because they
want to wait for a shakedown period. That is the same reason we should
wait to update them to 1.7.
I expect that 1.7.1b1 will come out on
getfirebug.com in a few days
with support for 3.6 and 4.0, with a plan for this version to be the
one we push to 3.6 users.
