If you would like to volunteer to monitor the Wiki, remove the sex ads
and ban the posters of same, then I would happy to re-enable to the
wiki pages. I turned them off because the cost/benefit was too high.

If you would like to contribute this near zero work, you please let us
know.
Honestly I have no idea what mechanism works for users to learn about
Firebug. I don't know why they use the docs.html page rather than the
"learn-more" links...or whether they do. I don't know if they read our
blog posts or not. Unfortunately your experience may not be similar to
other users (even if you think it is). I've spent a lot of time on
documentation, so your feedback basically tells me I should not
bother.
I think rather than a broadcast mechanism to an uncertain audience,
building info about updates in to the UI makes more sense.
