Now at b3, still not good enough for addons.mozilla.org release. http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6X A more complete view of the versions: http://getfirebug.com/downloads > > Is there any reason that Firebug version could not be changed to match > that of Firefox?

But we decided against it because we may make more versions than Firefox and anyway we always support two successive versions of Firefox.

Please re-read the blog post you cited. It does not say anything about Dev Tools merging with Firebug. There really isn't anything strange, our version numbers increase 0.1 at at time, we create an alpha, work it up to beta, then increment and start a new alpha. At the new beta we take extra care, then release a stable version to addons.mozilla.org. http://getfirebug.com/downloads jjb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
