Weren’t the Firebug features absorbed into Firefox over time?



https://hacks.mozilla.org/2016/12/firebug-lives-on-in-firefo...

> The decision was made that the next version of Firebug (codenamed Firebug.next) would build on top of Firefox DevTools, and Firebug would be merged into the built-in tools.

> And perhaps most importantly, we joined forces to build the best developer tools together, rather than compete with each other. Many of Firebug’s core developers are on the DevTools team, including Jan ‘Honza’ Odvarko and Mike Ratcliffe. Other Firebug Working Group members like Sebastian Zartner and Florent Fayolle are also active DevTools contributors.

> A huge thank you to them for bringing their expertise in browser developer tooling to the project!
