On: Something's pretty broken with Firebug...

[ExJournalist]

Yes, it's a real pain to see that (for now, for a lot of uses) Firebug's broken.

But it sure speaks well of FF that they have the issues boldly presented on their site.

Erm? Does it speak well of Amazon when it "boldly" presents negative customer reviews on its pages? I mean, yes, I think it's useful, but I don't think that presentation of user reviews reflects particularly well OR poorly on Mozilla.

Firebug is a recommended addon and mozilla folks actively work on firebug. It is almost a semi-official mozilla addon now

Though Mozilla spent years pushing their annoyingly useless "Web Developer Toolbar" exclusively

[donalm → blasdel]

Not completely useless...

Its pretty handy for disabling javascript, changing forms from POST to GET, viewing form fields and trying different browser window sizes.

Otherwise though it does have a lot of pointless options.

I never even considered FireBug and the WebDev Toolbar to be competing in any way?

To me they complement each other quite well.
