Can anyone tell me why Firebug isn't part of Firefox's core
installation?

It does seem like an area that Firefox is genuinely falling behind.
IE8 has their debugger as (as far as I know) a non-optional part of
the browser now. Safari 4 beta has similar tools in their default
install (thought it's not out of beta yet). I believe Chrome has
similar tools as well in their default install.

Yet Firefox relies on a third-party extension?

I consider firebug to be a completely essential part of the firefox
experience, and in my opinion, making firefox so developer-friendly
has been a decent factor in its current popularity.

Yet it ships without web debugging tools?

It just seems funny to me.

Maybe the move to version numbers that match firefox (http://
blog.getfirebug.com/?p=109) is a start in this direction.
