I was happily using Hardy Alpha, doing my database development, and all of a sudden I noticed firefox 2 was removed and replaced with firefox 3. The problem is that many plugins, basically the 2 most important plugins of the Web Developer Universe, do not yet work with Firefox 3: Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug. while there is already a bug about the lack of Web Developer Toolbar, There is none for Firebug. This bug is all about having the ability of using Firebug on Hardy.
My suggestion is to provide a Firefox 2.0 package alongside Firefox 3 beta. For me it's not a problem to have FF3 as the default browser. It's not a problem if I have to download the extension instead of using apt-get to install it either, I just need Firefox 2.0, at least until Firebug is compatible with FF3. I am sure others need this too.
