Erik, I'm not whining, I am lamenting. I said it was a sad day, that is not whining. Whining is long , shrill complaining cry, lamenting is an impassioned expression of grief or sorrow. I can appreciate your asking for suggestions and you are probably tired of people complaining about it and you want to make it better I am sure as you took the time to write as I am taking the time to write this. I do not know what prompted this move, whether it is internal politics, a financial or corporate decision, but it is a monumental change for the people that develop with Firebug. It's like using Photoshop for years then one day it is now some program that sort of does what Photoshop does but it is clunky, missing features and the lasso tool is now called the snare or lariat tool and you have no choice but to use it or find a new application. What do I suggest? Aside from putting the Firebug tools as a replacement for the dev-tools, I don't think there is much you can do, so I feel sad about it. I saw this change coming when Firefox introduced the dev-tools and made it easier to right click to it than to Firebug, I said to my team that this will be the end of Firebug and we will need to use this new tool. It's not so much that they can do the same sort of things but differently, it's also a rote memory issue, I can click anywhere from memory on all the controls of firebug in an instant I know the lasso tool is the third tool from the top left of my window. Now I find myself trying to figure out what this prompt means "The Web Console logging API (console.log, console.info, console.warn, console.error) has been disabled by a script on this page" when I open the console.
There are many good suggestions on the bulletin boards so I don't need to reiterate them. I used Firebug mostly for logging events, the net features and writing styles. For the console I liked the history function and the side by side console windows where I can add several lines of code, there seems to be a button for split console but it does nothing on my version of Firefox, 40.0.2. Yes, I can stay at the version and continue to run Firebug (I am quite certain that I cannot have two versions on the same Mac) but I have been doing this since '92 and I know when it comes to the dreaded "upgrade" that resistance is futile so it is indeed a sad day to watch Firebug go away.
