ever since firefox 3 came out i've had one huge problem...i couldn't get firebug to work with both of them on the same computer.
there are 2 different versions of firebug, basically the old one is for FF2 and the new one(beta version) is for FF3. Joe Hewitt is really making the new version kick ass, but having the entire FF2/3 combo with the bug caused problems. the extensions were causing huge conflicts, and any way i tried i couldn't get it installed on both browsers.
now FF finally released 3.0.1 and 2.0.0.16 and my beautiful development plugin works on both browsers. you may ask...'wajiw, why do you even fucking need FF2' to which i reply, FF3 renders css and javascript more strict than FF2, so I must test them both to make sure my javascript/css intense sites (check out slippymap.com) work. which really...my FF version bugs haven't taken me more than 5 minutes to fix, as compared to IE version compatibility between 6 & 7 where it's taken me, litterally, up to 3 weeks to fix a bug, and i'm pretty good at my job.
so praise whoever you want...hallelujah....my life is much more stable now, and so is my browser.
FF3
