As John pointed out, we're making some deep architectural changes in both
Firebug and Firebug Lite which means we'll be able to support remote
debugging in the future (that is, using your desktop computer to debug your
mobile phone).

Another different thing is making Firebug Lite more friendly to the mobile
environment. This is not our priority right now (as we're already committed
with some big changes), but we're always open to bug reports, enhancement
requests, and of course, patches. The only (big) problem is that I don't
have smart phones to test Firebug Lite, which means I could be hard to
detect/solve problems without having a mobile to test it. Anyway, I plan to
buy a smart phone this year so I can test Firebug Lite on it. Even so, we're
a small team and cannot afford several mobile devices, and that's why the
reports are so important.

Please do report your problems and suggestions. I can't promise any dates,
but a better mobile support is something I definitely would like to see in
Firebug Lite. Considering our limitations, I reiterate: patches are
extremely welcome. We could easily use the beta channel to test such
patches.

I also wondered some time ago having a "extra Lite" version of Firebug Lite
aimed for mobile browsers: less panels available (only Console and maybe
HTML), a redesigned minimalistic UI, and some small tweaks. Anyway, it was
just an idea to overcome the 2 bigger problems regarding Firebug Lite on
mobile browsers: memory consumption (Firebug Lite's source alone consumes
~1Mb), and small visual space available (Firebug's UI was designed to work
on 800x600 or higher resolutions). But this is just an speculation as I
never tested how long it takes to load Firebug Lite on a mobile phone.

regards,

Pedro Simonetti.
