Firefox 3’s out!
Get it now. I’m serious. YSlow’s there, Firebug 1.2 beta’s there, Web Developer Toolbar’s there, and it just kicks the living crap out of Firefox 2 for performance, not to mention all the cool dev-oriented stuff like more advanced JS, better extension stuff, better <canvas>, better SVG, better support for cutting-edge standards, and the like.
Get it now. Get it today.

I cursed the day when Firebug 1.2 came out : ) Seriously. It hurts to see a favorite app get tangled in so many bugs (such that it’s a real pain to do any real work)
Seriously? What was that, the alpha? Have you had no more luck with a more recent beta (I’m using b3 myself, which is the latest one)?
Should I wait a bit more time until it appears to be stable then? Only 1.2 will run on FF3, and I wouldn’t want it to b0rk.
And to think it’s supposed to be mostly performance-related and bugfixing…
console.firebug yields “1.2X.0b3″ so yeah, I believe this is the latests version.
Some of the nasty bugs are:
“Inspect html/css” stops displaying elements in a pane as you mouse over them on a page (only “html” is displayed and could only be unfolded manually)
FB’s console seems to be initialized on page/dom load, so console.log and others are not available before
FB’s console throws errors once in a while
Net panel often does not display some components (JS tab almost always gives an empty list)
When stepping through a code (with breakpoints), there are huge freezes
It’s now impossible to right click included JS file and open it in a new tab
and many more…
