This a.m. FF decided to update to 30.0 and I no longer can find the Firebug icon.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Firebug and still can't find it.  Tried Customize, but it is nowhere to be found.  Any help?

Firebug normally resides within the browser toolbar besides the Firefox menu at the right upper side of the browser window.

Reinstalling Firebug rarely help, try:
* Uninstall other extensions to avoid possible collisions
* Install Firebug in a new clean profile

Sebastian,
  I know that is where it normally is, but if you look at my attachment, you will see that it is not there.

I didn't see that you also created an issue before I posted my answer.
Please install 2.0.2 again and restart your browser, then make sure about:addons really shows that Firebug 2.0.2 is installed and active.
If it doesn't help, please follow Honza's suggestions.
In any case, let us know whether it helped.

The issue it's when you try to install the Firebug from: https://getfirebug.com/swarms

The Firebug version installed that way it's 1.12.6 which it's not compatible with FF 30+

Thanks for the hint, Dario.
It took quite some time, though I could finally update the Swarms page to offer the latest version of Firebug.

Sebastian
