=== Simon ===
Overall strategy:
* compete with native tools (we are established, have a nice UI, and our base functionality - which is what matters most - is really solid; hence I think we can be successful in doing this)
* build parts of Firebug on top of devtools backend, to move faster (and get closer to remoting)
* focus on unique features
Steps how to proceed:
# Investigate running Firebug in the content process, or otherwise find workarounds for e10s. Much of what strategy to choose hinges on this. IMO no other solution will be ready in the right time frame, and we'll still have users wanting to continue use the original Firebug, so this is critical is either case. Assuming we can cope:
# Slowly move towards remoting by rebuilding on top of devtools backend.
# Build some new features ourselves, and others (e.g. clones of new features) with help of devtools APIs.
