It's actually not about fixing Firebug but about making the transition to the DevTools easier. That the context menu inspection has been broken was the most mentioned issue and easy to fix. Fixing issues like the console or the debugger would require much more effort and therefore isn't worth doing, as Firebug users should start switching over. What I'd still like to see, though, is a note at the top of the Firebug window saying that it is discontinued, especially when e10s is disabled, so everyone knows what's going on. Therefore I've created issue 8081 <https://github.com/firebug/firebug/issues/8081>. Unfortunately I don't have much time to do that myself, though I hope the DevTools team takes the time to add that note. I think this would really help to clarify things.
