Firebug update
- 1.8 beta is coming
- will keep compatibility with existing extensions as much as possible
- mark obsolete APIs display a warning in the console panel whenever a deprecated API is used
- debated about including some extensions with Firebug
  - a better solution seems to be to use the "Swarm" feature started by John to load a bundle of connections
  - might include EventBug extension at least
- Tested SeaMonkey compatibility
  - Only a couple of minor problems
- Firebug modules are now loaded into an iframe rather than browser global scope
  - not perfect yet, but close
- the modules work is nearly done, but the reorganization needs to be finished
- More progress on remoting/Browser Tools Interface
Debugger
- remote protocol is limping along with thread-like actors
- not tied into the UI yet
- also working just on globals now
- next step is getting it working with tabs
- currently can stop at debugger statement and resume in global space
- Mihai asked if you can set breakpoints at arbitrary points on a line
  - dcamp says "eventually"
