Thanks

Firebug should work in Firefox 5 (Firefox 3.6 - 5.*).

Should, but doesn't - gets binned on the upgrade going live

There is a beta update that looks well tested -

At your own risk.

Thanks for your answer - I'll wait until stable. I have now found a link back to 3.6, which enabled me to go back up to 4. Back to where I started; which is exactly where I want to be for the moment.

Could you post the link/method you used, would help the rest of us downgrade.
