They want me to use crappy IE. Last I checked browser usage, IE is down to around 55%, so that’s a lot of non-IE users they’re deterring. Please AT&T, implement web accessibility practices and use web standards! The customer must be able to use whatever web browser he chooses.

Firefox 3 was June 17, 2008, and you’ll notice that the  Firebug update wasn’t until June 28. That means that for eleven days, we web developers were left bewildered, without the now essential web developing tool. Of course, I’m guessing most of us had another computer with Firefox 2 and Firebug still running as I did.

So now, if you’re still wondering, you can get Firebug 1.2 that works beautifully with Firefox 3.

Firefox 2 users should install the older 1.05 version of Firebug. You can get the previous Firebug versions here.
