I'm having the interesting experience right now of running two different versions of Firefox/Firebug simultaneously, using the MultiFirefox app (which is Mac-only, I believe). I'm running FF28 with Firebug 1.12.8, and FF 32.0.3 with Firebug 2.0.4. Running them side-by-side like this, it's easy to compare the two.

The very first difference I noticed in the two Firebugs was the syntax coloring. A nice feature... in theory. Unfortunately, in the Script panel, it makes the gray text (for my extensive code comments) very hard to read on my main monitor, and impossible to read on the old auxiliary monitor where I keep my Firebug window. I suppose this is consistent with the current fashion for light-gray text on websites (and elsewhere) but it's a brain-dead fashion idea that I despise.

Is the syntax coloring customizable in some way? Or, if that's not possible, can I turn it off entirely? I can't seem to find those options; all I see is the option to make the text bigger, which doesn't help.

On the positive side, I can finally close the right-side Watch/Stack/Breakpoints panel while I'm looking at the Script on the left side, if I choose. That's nice.
