bug#49663: Outdated link to Firebug to fix?

[Colby Russell]

Marc:

Thanks for the bug report.

You are unlikely to receive a link to your page from the GNU project.  PCWDLD.com appears to promote non-free software, and the site itself relies on non-free scripts (which seem to be broken even if you allow them to run, by the way).  Additionally, three of the script resources that that PCWDLD.com pages attempt to pull in are flagged by uBlock Origin.

Hi,

Just letting you know that you have an outdated link here - http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/addons.html

It’s to the Firebug download page which is now defunct - http://www.getfirebug.com/

We’ve put together a list of our 10 favorite _javascript_ debugging tools (essentially a list of alternatives to Firebug!), perhaps you could point people to this?

Here’s the link - https://www.pcwdld.com/firebug-alternatives-_javascript_-debugging-tools

Should prove useful for anyone missing Firebug!

I hope this helps.

P.S. If you’d prefer not to hear from me just hit reply and let me know.
