Hrm... my apologizes, I stand corrected then. I started getting into web development after Netscape was, for all intents and purposes, dead and IE6 was king.

Well you're in luck, check out SeaMonkey composer today!

MS used to bundle a similar WYSIWYG editor with IE as well, Frontpage Express (a stripped-down version of the commercial MS Frontpage).

Well a WYSIWYG editor built in is not really comparable with the features of Firebug.

Sure, but Netscape Composer was a WYSIWYG editor as well, not a web page inspector/debugger like Firebug. Honestly, there was not much to inspect or debug in web pages at the time...
