Firebug
This page is for tracking the integration of Firebug into Firefox.
Potential Integration Issues
These are issues that could be problematic.
Issue 97 - Firebug outputs too many warnings in the JS error console
Status: Patch submitted, but unacceptable to project maintainer.
Disucssion: Joe feels that strict mode warnings need to be adjusted, so I filed Bug 381223. I feel that if we are targeting this to web developers, the errors in chrome won't be an issue since those are not displayed by default. However, if we expand the target group to Extension Developers, this will be a serious issue. There are easily over 50 strict warnings with startup alone, so it will be next to impossible for extension authors to find their own strict warnings.
Issue 160 - Firebug lacks full chrome under FreeBSD (and probably any platform except Darwin, Linux, linux-gnu, and WINNT)
Status: Researching.
Disucssion: Reporter posted a fix that I need to investigate more.
Issue 194 - Firebug should be able to inspect chrome
Status: Researching.
Disucssion:
Bug 346664
Status: See Bug.
Disucssion: See Bug.
Bug 344751
Status: See Bug.
Disucssion: See Bug.
Issue 159 - dir("") report String.prototype's defined in other extensions
Status: Researching.
Disucssion: Conflicts with other extensions, especially the Web Developer Extension, aren't good.

Non-Issues
Issue that were once listed as potential ones or have been concerns people have brought up, but have since been deemed non-issues.
Issue 166 - Without DOM Inspector, message displays HTML code in style window
Why not: I originally misread this as "Firebug requires DOM Inspector. Oops.
Firebug Requires DOM Inspector
Why not: Firebug only uses inIDOMUtils, which, as of Firefox 2.0, is built with layout.
