Crazy idea: Firebug 2 & 3 side by side

[alfonsoml]

This might not be realistic, but as the new Firebug 3 will bring many changes and we might need to keep using the existing features until Mozilla reaches feature parity with Firebug:

Could it be possible to release the version 3 with a new Id so that both Firebug 2 and 3 can be installed on the same Firefox and so we can try out the new version (at the very least it's clear that it improves the quality of the native developer tools) and we can launch the old version whenever we need something that it's missing in the new version?

That way it would be much easier for you to get feedback as more people will be willing to test it knowing that whenever they need it the old Firebug is one click away.

Thank you for your consideration of this proposal.

Yep, we already had a discussion about this.

Firebug 3 needs to have the same ID, but we might have an extra Firebug 2 release with different ID (so, both works in the same profile at the same time).
