Conflict with Firebug 2

[simonlindholm]

If I enable both Firebug and Firebug.next in the same profile:

• Firebug 2's command line stops working.
• If I restart, Firebug 2 fails to open.

Not sure why this happens, but it would be really nice to be able to use both at the same time (for trying out FB.next without having to uninstall FB2, falling back to Firebug 2 when something is missing, etc.)

[simonlindholm]

Could be in part because both use "chrome://firebug/".

[simonlindholm]

Seems like that's it. Any objections towards ae8c998?

[simonlindholm]

If the "firebug.next" name is annoying to keep around, maybe we could use chrome://fbug/? It's not used on AMO.

maybe we could use chrome://fbug/?

Maybe.

Is it possible to merge firebug 2 and 3 into one addon and make `em share some code?

Is it possible to merge firebug 2 and 3 into one addon and share some code amoung them?

No. The two versions have different architectures and the first one is not compatible with E10S (upcoming one-process-per-tab feature for Firefox).

We are not planning to run Firebug 2 and Firebug 3 side by side, so closing this bug.
