The related bug report is bug 991806 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=991806> (have a look at the list of bugs at "Depends on"). If you're missing a Firebug feature in the DevTools that's not listed there already, you should consider to file it blocking bug 991806 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?assigned_to=nobody%40mozilla.org&blocked=991806&bug_file_loc=http%3A%2F%2F&bug_ignored=0&bug_severity=normal&bug_status=NEW&cf_fx_iteration=---&cf_fx_points=---&cf_platform_rel=---&cf_status_firefox52=---&cf_status_firefox53=---&cf_status_firefox54=---&cf_status_firefox55=affected&cf_status_firefox_esr45=---&cf_status_firefox_esr52=---&cf_tracking_firefox52=---&cf_tracking_firefox53=---&cf_tracking_firefox54=---&cf_tracking_firefox55=---&cf_tracking_firefox_esr45=---&cf_tracking_firefox_esr52=---&cf_tracking_firefox_relnote=---&component=Developer%20Tools&contenttypemethod=autodetect&contenttypeselection=text%2Fplain&flag_type-203=X&flag_type-37=X&flag_type-41=X&flag_type-5=X&flag_type-607=X&flag_type-720=X&flag_type-721=X&flag_type-737=X&flag_type-748=X&flag_type-781=X&flag_type-787=X&flag_type-799=X&flag_type-800=X&flag_type-803=X&flag_type-835=X&flag_type-846=X&flag_type-855=X&flag_type-864=X&flag_type-905=X&flag_type-914=X&flag_type-916=X&form_name=enter_bug&maketemplate=Remember%20values%20as%20bookmarkable%20template&op_sys=Unspecified&priority=--&product=Firefox&rep_platform=Unspecified&target_milestone=---> .

So, there's no guarantee that it still works. Why do you specifically need Firebug Lite? As nowadays all browsers have some developer tools, there shouldn't be any need for Firebug Lite anymore. It's only benefit is to have the same UI across different browsers. And this is being worked on - for the JavaScript debugger at least - by the Firefox DevTools team in the debugger.html <https://github.com/devtools-html/debugger.html> project.
