Yes it was unfortunate to see add-ons break when we moved from version 3.6, but it was for good, if you come back you will notice all of the add-ons updated and working, a big performance boost and more stability, and you can update effortless without breaking things, most of the add-on dev's have caught on with the release cycle, and those who didn't are in my opinion not worth it anyway, but take this with a grain of salt I mostly have Firebug, Yslow, Clear Cache and Colorzilla Color Picker installed. I personally always have both Chrome and Firefox open, Chrome seems more responsive at times ( at least on my Macbook Pro ), but I can't get any productivity out of it (I'm a Web Dev) Firefox is a big winner for me here. And one more thing about version numbers, chrome latest version is 22.0.1229.94

How oh how are you more productive in Firefox than Chrome as a web dev? (Despite my incredulity, I'm serious) I'm a web dev and I'd scream at you long before I let you replace my WebKit inspector even with some of the newer Firefox tools.

  It has to bee a taste thing, I'm not that sold on the new firefox tools either, I've even submitted some bugs [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789675 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789675] but firebug is still deep in my work habits, I did see the post about chrome tools, I must admit it does look more advanced, anyway if I could change the font, background and foreground colors I would think of moving to chrome to do my dev work, I'm not feeling the red text on the styles attributes, a green/blue combination like firebug looks better. Yes I just admitted chrome dev tools are better.

    Haha, I was really confused by: >I could change the font, background and foreground colors I would think of moving to chrome to do my dev work I'm sitting here going "...uh, I bet you can do that in IE's tools"? In seriousness though, no, I appreciate your honesty. Everyone has their preferences. I uh, will try to refrain from judging your horrible choices (I'm kidding). I was mostly worried that something major changed in the last few versions of Firefox. I'm fortunate that my current projects are for myself, and thus I don't venture off of my existing tools too much, even for testing.

    You can skin -- change fonts, backgrounds, and foregrounds -- Chrome's dev tools: http://darcyclarke.me/design/skin-your-chrome-inspector/ http://darcyclarke.me/design/skin-your-chrome-inspector/ You can even inspect an inspector to dig right into selectors.
