Thanks, I had meant to ping someone about this, but keep forgetting. Filed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908174

Interesting, you don't have lag when first opening it? I was investigating pretty much the same thing yesterday, in the end my problem was that the JSD was ridiculously slow to toggle, but firebug is already working to move to JSD2 so I can't really complain too much. There is a test extension you can use attached to this bug. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=815603 I was getting something like 100ms to p…

Aha, you're right! Disabling the Script tab helps immensely. It's a shame since I need the Script tab for a lot of work, but it's not too much of a pain to disable/reenable.

Love the new features. I still find myself using Firebug over the built in dev tools in either Chrome or Firefox. The Firebug team has done a really tremendous job over the years. Keep up the good work!

I think Firebug is superior to the CDT, but unfortunately Firefox is terrible on modern Macs- especially with HiDPI.

"Copy as cURL" is great! I'm curious to see if it even builds POST requests properly.. Edit: it does! It includes all the headers, the POST data, etc...

"Copy as cURL" is pretty much the greatest addition to web dev/debugging since I started like 15 years ago..

But does it support blackboxing? - ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaFBvItTJrE )

Not yet, though it's something I suggested some time ago: http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=4888. Let's see if we can get that for the next version.

Is there work going on to build Firebug on top of the built-in Firefox debugging tools? The two don't seem to work well together at the moment.

Not really, no. There was some talk about adding a Firebug panel to the built-in tools, but nothing has really come from it, and any deeper UI integration is probably out of the question for being too much work. But suggestions about how to make it better are still welcome, of course. The main thing we have gotten out of the new devtools are new cool APIs, e.g. for debugging, paint flashing, CSS auto-completion, prof…

For everyone interested, the issue related to the built-in tools integration can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=6320

Firefox's, certainly. It would be good if you reported it on Bugzilla.

How do you know for sure?

Crashes and slowness that vary with Firefox versions is Firefox's fault, and in this case the note about tab switching points pretty clearly to a problem with the debugger service.
