As I was developing Firebug 1.0, I began to wonder if I should try to turn the project from a hobby into a business. The first announcement is in regards to Firebug’s licensing. Later in December 2006, Joe makes the important decision to open source Firebug:
#FIREFOX WEB EXTENSIONS FIREBUG CODE#
This is a very early release – the code is only a few days old. The very first version released in Jan 2006 on AMO is Firebug 0.2 with a short comment from Joe Hewitt: I’d like to share some of my own fond Firebug memories and historic moments, beginning with how it all started.

We fought the good fight and changed how developers inspect HTML and debug JS in the browser. The story of Firefox and Firebug is synonymous with the rise of the web. The good news is that all the capabilities of Firebug are now present in current Firefox Developer Tools. So it’s sad that Firebug is now reaching end-of-life in the Firefox browser, with the release of Firefox Quantum (version 57) next month. It also let you monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page, which was a huge step forward.įirebug caught people’s attention - and more than a million loyal fans still use it today. When it came out in 2005, Firebug was the first tool to let programmers inspect, edit, and debug code right in the Firefox browser.
