Recently, Firebug team announced on its official website, Firebug will no longer continue to develop and maintain, and invite you to use Firefox's built-in development tools.
Firebug was originally written by Joe Hewitt in January 2006, and Joe was one of the founders of Firefox. JavaScript debugging is difficult before debugging tools such as Firebug, and sometimes it's a nightmare to find errors. And as a Web browser Mozilla Firefox under the development of a plug-in, Firebug focus on HTML viewing and editing, JavaScript console, network condition monitor and other functions, is the development of JavaScript, CSS, Effective tools for HTML and Ajax.
Firebug was a must-have tool for many front-end developers, as well as developers who chose to use Firefox for Firebug. Firebug has also been used by many people, as early as 2011, someone commented on Infoq that "the Development tools section is now almost all the same, and looks like a firebug", and one of the cases is to be referenced by Chrome as DOM Inspector.
In fact, the Firebug stop has long been a harbinger. At the end of 2015, Mazilla engineers were working on the integration of native Firefox developer Tools (DevTools) and Firebug in order to further provide more powerful functionality. The integration project strives to port all Firebug features to Devtools, making it compatible with multiple processes and supporting remote debugging. Moreover, the project strives to ensure that the transition from Firebug to devtools is as smooth and simple as possible without compromising the user experience. In terms of results, Firebug 3 is no longer a separate tool, but a shell above the devtools. It provides Devtools with the same topics as previous versions of Firebug. Users can open a theme by clicking the firebug theme option. Firebug stop, the equivalent of removing the devtools layer of shell.
Today, there are many options available for browser debugging tools, although Firebug has left the historical stage, but its fluorescence has accompanied many developers.
