The team behind Firebug has split up and with e10s implemented and WebExtensions enforcement on the horizon, Firebug basically would need to be recreated from scratch (if it's even possible to create it as WebExtension). So, I think the $100 are better invested in pushing the Firefox DevTools. While their UI is not as good as Firebug's and still has several flaws, they are not as bad as you think. Just read the migration guide <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Migrating_from_Firebug> and give them a try. But maybe there's someone out there that wants to take the challenge of reviving the project and would initiate a crowd funding campain to get the resources. It's open source, after all.
