Firebug 3 integrates with Firefox's native DevTools so you'll still have Firebug (or you can just use Firefox's DevTools without Firebug if you want): https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/10/firebug-devtools-integrati...

Firebug isn't what's at stake here. It's the level of API access to browser internals that allowed things like Firebug to be built.

I don't think you need to be worried. If some feature is missing from the new API then get involved with the development and get the feature added. That's what add-on authors are doing (see my other comment).
