Misc

• Code styling: use [Fx<number>] pattern for comments involving Firefox versions
• Code styling: use [BGZ<number>] pattern for comments involving Bugzilla numbers
• Shortened links: https://bugzil.la/<number>
• Clearer definition for xxx comments
  • Represents a personal comment
  • Is rather temporary
  • Identifies a problem to solve
  • Put that points somewhere on the wiki

• Always use version labels?
  • Yes, even for enhancements, so we have a reference what was the current Firebug version at that moment.

• Getters/setters:
  • We think it's nicer to avoid them in most cases, it's more consistent with current coding style and makes things easier to understand.

FBTest

• Tests cause unresponsive script dialog/Firefox crashes
  • search/958/issue958.js
