Firebug lives on in Firefox DevTools
I've been using firebug pretty much since it came out. Firebug was an amazing leap forward in web development. I totally understand why its being deprecated but we can all tip our hats for the innovation that it brought. It really can't be understated.<p>As an aside I always kind of wondered why all browsers started including developer tools by default as they are not of use to 99.9% of users. Maybe because it's just easier than making them optional extensions? Does anyone know about what year this started?
