It would be very helpful if the fact that Firebug is being migrated to Firefox DevTools, and is no longer being actively developed, were prominently displayed on all of the most popular Firebug landing pages (including being posted, and 'sticky' at the top of-- if possible, the Firebug section 'Recent news'), so that users are aware of that.
That information would greatly benefit users by steering them to the relevant pages they need to immediately start using the new system. ...and would, among other things, eliminate users from continuing to post 'Firebug' issues, or following old issues, unwittingly hoping for resolution of them.
Suggested links to post on multiple Firebug pages:
- Devtools Home:
"(URL unknown by me)"
- Starting point for Devtools functionality specifically comparable to Firebug
"(URL unknown by me)"
- Demonstration video on using Devtools functionality specifically comparable to Firebug

I totally agree with you, Christopher.
I think it is time to offer Firebug users some migration path to the DevTools on getfirebug.com. A prominent hint on the landing pages directing web developers to the DevTools would be a good start.Suggested links to post on multiple Firebug pages:

There is no such reference yet, as far as I know. Honza, Brian, Will, what about creating a page on MDN for this?
Sorry for the late response, Sebastian. This does sound like a good idea. I'm not very familiar with Firebug, but it would be simple enough to do a high-level comparison (i.e. JS command line -> Web Console command line).

I’ll take care of this. I think I can modify the header used on all getfirebug.com pages and append a section helping users to migrate to built-in Firefox DevTools. I’ll point to the MDN page:
Don't worry, I'll help with that. I've started creating the page at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Migrating_from_Firebug.
The Web Console is the pendant to Firebug's Console panel.
I can understand the complexity of merging both tools... However there
are basic things that I can't find how to do! (i.e. How do
you turn on persistent logging?... When you click on the console tab
it's not there.... !??!?
Clearly Absent in Dev-Tools..
I like some of the other features... especially the responsive design tool... But help I need this (I'm sure everybody who's writing any javascript does!) Anybody?

CSS code inspection and live changes work in devtools. What is your problem?
