The Web Console feature in Firefox 4 was developed like any other Firefox feature and lives in mozilla-central. Post-Firefox 4 developer tools will generally start life as Jetpacks, so they will be easier for web developers to contribute to and use as samples and starting points for their own tools.
Firefox Developer Tools are built as a combination of code that is built into the browser and restartless add-ons.
