I agree that Firebug's Command Editor UI is better in several ways, though Scratchpad is usable. I think there was some request for a "multi-line command line" like in Firebug, though I can't find it right now. > > firequery > It does not work and nobody is interested in fixing it: > https://github.com/firebug/firequery/issues/39 > <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Ffirebug%2Ffirequery%2Fissues%2F39&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNH6hUPOLTz8U3z1hwy2DqCqxZzpmA> > I didn't try it myself lately, though one of the bugs linked in the issue is already fixed and the other one is assigned.

Non-the-less, the tooltip, which opens when you click the icon shows the related events (even jQuery events like in Firebug). >console.group.

That decision had advantages and disadvantages. Anyway, it can't be changed now. There are a lot of people now trying to make Firebug work because the > DevTools are not a valid replacement > And I am trying to help people to do so. Though again, this won't work forever, because Firebug doesn't work anymore once multi-process Firefox is enabled. Firebug is an open source project and lived from contributions by volunteers. Unfortunately, while Firebug had and still has a huge community of users, there was only a handful of people contributing to the project. Anyway, as it stands now, the Firebug as extension is discontinued. So, either users start switching over to the Firefox DevTools or to the Chrome DevTools. Of course, Firebug is still open source, so if someone wanted to revive it, nobody would stop them to do so. Though I believe at this point it makes more sense to put the efforts into the DevTools and try to make their usability as good as Firebug's.
