Exactly. Now they killed Firebug. And their newer DevTool has a Firebug skin - just a skin. Very bad devision. So now I reverted back to an older Firebug version, which is actually the true Firebug addon.
This means I will now have a zoo of old outdated browsers. Safari 5.1 Win32, Firefox 56 Win32 with Firebug addon, IE11 on Win7 (plus Chrome, Vivaldi and Servo alpha)
I have hope in a lightweight reboot of Firefox based on Servo with HTML based UI (like Firefox was a lightweight reboot of Mozilla Suite; funny that Firefox is now many times more bloated than Mozilla Suite (now called SeaMonkey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey ) and has less features)
- pikzen 10y agoThe question "Why would you use Firebug considering both Firefox Dev Tools and Chome Dev Tools have more features and don't cause the entire browser to horribly lag?" remains.
- frik 10y agoI use all three tools. But Firebug still has features that aren't implemented in both other tools. You can read the Bugzilla entries, sadly Mozilla cut off Firebug too early, many minor features (eg DOM tab) were just recently added to Firefox DevTools and aren't working 100% because of glitches and bugs. And Chrome DevTools don't has those features at all. (I use a separate Firefox instance for development, and it's not my number one browser for years because it can't handle hundreds of open tabs - IE and Chrome excel on that (my) requirement for 10 years.)
