Mozilla management clearly are morose. Discontinuing Firebug is the biggest knife in the back of those who have struggled through the poor management of Firefox throughout this whole decade to date.

Shame Mozilla, shame. One or two developers have done a great job supporting and maintaining Firebug and you just go and kill it.
