The latest versions of Firebug in Firefox feel like they've been regressing. Performance is abysmal. This is a common complaint amongs everyone on my team, and increasingly among many other web developers online.
Are there any alternative extensions for Firefox that gives similar functionality(DOM inspector, Net tab, console)?

The Firebug web development tool, an open source add-on to the Firefox browser, is being discontinued after 12 years, replaced by Firefox Developer Tools.
Firebug was discontinued last year (2017). So it's sad that Firebug is now reaching end-of-life in the Firefox browser, with the release of Firefox Quantum (version 57) next month. The good news is that all the capabilities of Firebug are now present in current Firefox Developer Tools.
As you might have heard already, Firebug has been discontinued as a separate Firefox add-on. The reason for this huge change is Electrolysis, Mozilla's project name for a redesign of Firefox architecture to improve responsiveness, stability, and security.
Firebug is a discontinued free and open-source web browser extension for Mozilla Firefox that facilitated the live debugging, editing, and monitoring of any website's CSS, HTML, DOM, XHR, and JavaScript.
Firefox now has built in developer tools similar to Firebug, but not so full-featured:
