Firebug Quality has Declined, Dramatically

[Ben Gillis]

Hi,

I'm a long-time user of Firebug and love it.  Sadly, I'm looking at bailing on it, because the quality has declined so much.

The debugger locks up a lot, breakpoints don't work, with breakpoints stepping through code won't proceed past the breakpoint, debugger variables don't update in the Watch window, stepping into routines takes forever-to-never happening, and so much more.

The earlier versions of Firebug worked liked a charm, versions 1.x.  Since 2.x it's been terrible.  What's happened to Firebug???

Regards,

Ben Gillis

The recommendation is to switch to built-in Firefox Developer tools
https://blog.getfirebug.com/2016/06/07/unifying-firebug-firefox-devtools/

We've ported Firebug theme and other things over to Firefox devtools
to make the transition for Firebug users simple.

Firebug will stop working when multi-process (e10s) support is activated
in Firefox and so, the development-effort goes to built-in tools now.
