When is the full version going to be released for chrome?? I am dying
to be able to edit HTML and CSS without having to click on each
individual element. Any ideas as to when the full version may be
released?

Well, the answer is not that simple! :)

Firebug for Firefox uses a lot of APIs only available at Firefox, so the Firefox and Chrome versions will never be the same.

On the other hand, if you are following our blog you may already know that we are doing huge changes in Firebug architecture to allow remote debugging and also better cross-browser support.

This means that we'll see in the future a lot of new features in Firebug for Chrome, like JavaScript debugger, and possibly fully editing of HTML and CSS, like you see in Firefox. And the best is that, once we get there, we'll be using the same code base in Firebug and Firebug "Lite" (which will be not so "lite" at that point), which means Firebug Lite will evolve a lot faster than today.

But there's a long road ahead before we accomplish that, so I'm afraid it will take a few months ( or not so "few" depending on your point-of-view :) ). I cannot promise any dates but I'll be working hard on that, and I hope this will happen by the end of this year.

In the meantime, if Firebug Lite does not offer all you want in Chrome, I suggest you using Chrome Developer Tools. Also, if you want to follow our progress I suggest reading our blog periodically:

Just one clarification. I wrote "I'll be working hard on that" but I actually meant "*we* will be working hard on that". I'm working basically at the front-end portion of our app but there's a great team of developers working on the back-end, which will allow us to bring the magic of JavaScript debugging to browsers such as Chrome and IE. Yeah, you heard it right: JavaScript debugging in IE! Isn't that awesome?

regards,

Pedro Simonetti.
