The performance is sometimes a bit of a letdown too. However I'm using the beta's and they seem to improve a little bit each version. I can only hope, like you, that things will get better when John Resig gets involved.

One error which happens every time is this 'net.js' file consistently errors out and freezes up the browser. Searching on Google hints that it's a problem caused by framesets (Zenbe uses frames), however, there's no fix in yet and who knows when that'll happen. There was also an odd problem today with our file uploader throwing an error if Firebug was enabled - I'm not even going to begin to try to figure that out. So Firebug 2 seems to work alright for simple sites, but for the complex web application which is Zenbe - no dice. Which burns, because Firebug 1 has been the ultimate lifesaver.

I've had a lot of trouble with firebug and firefox 3, I'm currently using 1.2.0 b6 and everything finally seems stable. Maybe some other extensions are goofing it up? Really?
