pd, I know you are a strong supporter of the Firebug Working Group for a long time already, but ranting about Mozilla not caring about Firebug at all is just not true.
While the current performance problem has caused a big discussion between Mozilla members and Firebug users, we need to focus on fixing the problem. Also there is already a platform fix for it, so people should try it out, provide feedback on it and emphasize that the fix should be integrated into the next Firefox release. Of course as a volunteer contributor for Firebug I'd have preferred if Mozilla made some other decisions in the past and provided more man power for programming on Firebug. Though this won't happen anymore. So what everybody can do to help the Firebug Working Group is to spread the word and provide patches for features and bugs.
