I love Firebug. It is invaluable. Firebug doesn't always love me though. It is bloatware.
Well, maybe the code itself isn't bloated but the zombie compartments issue is atrocious. I can understand if Firefox performance drops off on tabs where Firebug is open. I can understand that Firebug causes Firefox performance to drop off even on tabs where Firebug has not been used. What I cannot understand is when Firebug seems to cause Firefox performance drop off when it has never been used in the entire browser session! The only tolerable bloat is when Firebug causes Firefox performance to drop off on the current tab - until that tab is closed. Even this doesn't seem to be the case. I've followed MemShrink all year. Now there's Snappy. I've seen native tools get 90% of the focus that could otherwise be applied to fixing this critical issue in Firebug. I've run out of patience! Please don't tell me that I have too many extensions installed. Please don't tell me that you don't know how to analyze Add-On memory handling. Please don't tell me that native tools are being developed to overcome these bloat and performance problems because there are architectural issue in Firebug that cannot be overcome. *Please*? Just fix this problem! I'm just an ordinary web dev earning government wages. However I'd pay as much money as an old school payware application to get this problem fixed. I'd even consider paying the sort of cash that Photoshop or other overpriced applications command. I'll pay it in Australian dollars which are currently around parity with USD and have been higher! So you might get a bonus! Call it an xmas present, a new years present, a chinese new years present ... Microsoft is giving us poor web devs a present by forcing upgrades to IE as of January, how about the amazing Mozilla community match that gesture?
