Confused. I thought Firebug is no longer needed because the functionality is part of Firefox developer tools, which have been always visible in Firefox for years (at least in many Linux distros, maybe that's not a Mozilla default?).
The site mentions Firefox Developer Edition. What is that? A quick search seems to indicate that it's just one version ahead of Beta, what was called Aurora in the past.
Certainly if you want to test new features that's good. But what is the benefit for general Web development?

In short, separate profile, quicker access to new developer tools/new web standard implementations by virtue of being its own release channel (as you mention), developer-friendly defaults.
It's nice to praise Firebug - it's awesome and I agree with all the praise - but none of the praise explains / points to this awesome FF Developer Edition which up until this comment I had never heard of.
On the same computer I use the developer edition for work and regular for personal. Makes it really easy to keep profile, bookmarks, etc separate. Also the dev tools have a neat neon dark color scheme.
