Firebug 2+ Add-on Doesn't Show Error Info

[Meengla Yip]

Hi,

Please see this cross post at Stack Overflow--no one is responding there:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43893261/firebug-2-add-on-doesnt-show-error-info 

I thought I should get better response here and so posting here?

One of the major reasons for using Firefox was the FireBug and if that's not going to work then I will sadly have to move elsewhere as browser.

Thanks!

I've also noted in a comment there that what you're seeing are the Firefox DevTools, not Firebug. Firebug is officially discontinued.

Firebug was the best web developer tool. I am 20% less efficient now. The built-in Firefox web developer tools sucks. I hope somebody builds another web developer tool similar to the classic Firebug.

That won't likely happen, since there wasn't even enough manpower to
migrate firebug to multi process firefox.

Another reason is that starting from Firefox 57 only WebExtensions will be supported, which run in all main browsers and are safer than current Firefox extensions, though also restrict very much what extensions can do. So, if somebody were willing to create an add-on similar to Firebug, it would have less features.
