I wish your article title had been used in the addons.mozilla.org page. If that page had said Firebug added 900ms to Firefox startup, I'd have no problem with it. > I had seen mention of this already > here:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/03/mozilla_cracks_down_on_add_on... > > If you read the comments of that article most people realise that a > performance hit from Firebug is to be expected, let alone worried about, and > startup time is of little consequence when using debug tools. The reason I have a strong reaction to the page is that we invested a really large chunk of time, both as developers and as a community of users and testers, to create and improve ways to prevent Firebug from slowing down Firefox. We did not focus on startup time because it does not matter. Now AMO creates a page about startup time that blames us for "slow Firefox to a crawl and make it difficult to use for regular web browsing." which has nothing at all to do with the startup time they measure. jjb > > Regards, > > d -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
