If just 1% of the millions of people would actually contribute code to it, I'd be the happiest man alive. Unfortunately the group of people maintaining it is way too small to keep it competitive as an independent tool. That's one major reason why Firebug 3 will integrate into the Firefox DevTools instead of staying a stand-alone tool. I just don’t see how this is effective bug squashing if the dev’s aren’t > willing to go and investigate and at least attempt to reproduce the issue > themselves. They *do* try to reproduce the issues. Though as the resources are very limited <https://www.openhub.net/p/firebug/contributors/summary>, it is impossible to spend several hours on every bug report trying to find a reproducible test case while at the same time working on the new version, answering questions in this forum, keep the website and the documentation up-to-date, etc. @Lawrence: Instead of wasting your time writing long descriptions of what problems you currently face, which may not be easily reproducible, I suggest you follow the steps described in the first aid page I linked to before. In case you (or someone else here) finds clear steps for the seen bugs, report issues for them and create a test cases as I did in issue 7760 <https://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=7760>.
