Firebug 2

• Additional logic: Firebug 2 installed in DevBrowser edition
  • If Firebug 2 is installed, there should be a notification displayed to the user informing that there is Firebug 3 available.
  • There can be a popup when the Firebug UI is opened for the first time
  • There can be a popup when Firebug is installed
  • There could be a message in the Console panel
  • We can also use first-run experience API (but perhaps Firebug 3 could utilize it more)

• Additional logic: Firebug 2 installed in e10s enabled browser
  • If Firebug 2 is installed in e10s enabled browser, two options should be offered: download Firebug 3 or switch off e10s
  • Let's do this later and use the same channel as for the DevBrowser edition

• Issue 7654: Don't use LoadContextInfo.default for opening HTTP cache entries
  • Honza: still waiting for response from Jan Bambas
