Alfonso is right. We can't keep the support for old versions of Firefox, because we simply don't have time to do so. For implementing new features we would always need to have a fallback for old versions, that don't support them. You can read about which versions of Firefox the different Firebug versions support at http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Compatibility.
Alfonso, please note, that the latest development version of Firebug (currently 1.9.0a1) is always supporting the latest version of Firefox (currently 9.0a1).
