#2I remember using Firebug for the first time and being blown away by the real-time editing of the DOM/CSS, it saved my F5 key from certain destruction.

#3Thank you for the amazing contribution and for for making it a little bit easier to debug during a time when debugging was even harder. Firebug set in motion the browser tools that are bundled today.

#4i will miss you firebug!!!
I loved when i could open firebug + native dev tools... that way i could navigate in html with firebug and make css changes on the native dev.. on the same screen!
Now i can only open the native dev tools and i can only view either "Style editor" OR "Dom navigation" but not both at the same time.
Will miss you firebug as extension!!

#5I guess this is the right place to point out to people reminiscing that if you open Firefox dev tools and click the options cog, you can select a Firebug theme.

#6Firebug didn't just raise the bar for web debugging, it pretty much raised the bar for all debugging tools. It leaves a great legacy with the built-in dev tools. Great project.

#7Firebug was the greatest thing to happen to web development. Honestly I still prefer it to the native dev tools. I especially love how most things go to the console so I don't have to jump all over the place to find the information I'm looking for. I absolutely abhor the network panel in Chrome. It's like they're purposefully trying to make it difficult.

Whoa. That's pretty hyperbolic. Firebug is definitely cool but things like SoftICE or the Visual Studio debugger were amazing.

#9Things instantly became real when firebug for IE came out. To me that one tool made a front end web development career a viable option. Do y'all remember JS before Firebug? ouch

The firebug theme in firefox dev tools has eased the pain somewhat for me.
