Wouldn't it make sense to freeze Firebug for the people that don't want to upgrade Firefox, so there's no need to worry about compatibility with old versions and this kind of unexpected breakage?
They are happy with their setup as is, so unless there's an important reason, set the minimum compatibility with Firefox 40 for example and they'll keep on working exactly the same way as long as they want.
This is even more important taking into account all the upcoming changes, instead of pushing versions to fix compatibility with new firefox and at the same time add the code to avoid breaking old versions, release the new firebug only for those that have a firefox recent enough and everybody will be happy

Yes, agree. I'll do that as soon as support for multiprocess (aka e10s) lands in Firefox.
It'll be breaking change and good opportunity to freeze Firebug.

I ever had the impression that is sufficient to disable automatic

But anyway, why would a web developer (I think the mayority of firebug
users) stick to a firefox version, that has almost no market share? I
wouldn't dare to deliver websites to my clients, that where not tested
on the most recent browser versions...

Sadly, even the most current version of Firefox has little market share. It has been slipping for a long time. In other developer forums, it's common for developers to say that the only compatibility they care about (or test for) now is Chrome and IE.
I stick with Firefox (mostly) because it still has the best range of developer tools. I'd like to keep using the latest version too, for security when browsing, but that's a secondary issue. The tools (Firebug and all the others) are the main issue to me.... so if a new version of Firefox breaks those tools, I'll have no reason to upgrade Firefox further.

I have only just begun using firebug 2 weeks ago, So I am still just learning it. However, I am not sure who is responsible for the videos on Firebug's home page, but I have a request could someone add Closed Caption options to the video's? Please. See I am deaf and that puts me at a disadvantage when viewing videos without CC.
Thank yoiu.

I am 100% in agreement here and it si beyond my understanding why the FF people would do "retire" firebug. I have said many times that in may years of development workI can count on 1 hand the people who use Chrome or Safari (or any Microsoft) dev tools as their *primary* tool. Only Firefox - but now, who knows. Wish and hope they have someone who will read this and other similar comments.
