Firebug Support (via Fireless) [#1143544]

The kicker is FIREBUG support - most designer/dev/themers just really need that. And the Fireless extension looked promising but has disappared off of the radar (which is worrying) - it is no longer in Firefox add ons, though may found on Github. I haven't been able to get Fireless to work with this module - should it? Could it? with changes at either the module or FF extension end?

This would be a total gamechanger for us, (3 person a design focussed drupalshop) as all other attempts to integrate Less into our workflow (requiring both dev and production site code changes) have failed.

If i could get this module working properly with Fireless, then I'd love to contribute to it's documentation.. which currently falls very short of what non-dev designers like myself need. Very much looking forward to making this work!

Not sure if this will help but... For reference from Github:
---------------------------------------------
FireLess is a Firebug extension that makes Firebug display the Less filenames and line numbers of LessPHP-generated CSS styles rather than those of the generated CSS. This is an adaptation of the Firesass extension developped by Nex3.

First, install FireLess. Second, enable LessPHP's debug_info option like the example below :
$lc = new lessc();
$lc->debug_info = true;

Compatibility: FireLess requires LessPHP.
FireLess should work with all versions of Firefox after and including 3.0, and all FireBug versions 1.4 and 1.5. It might work with FireBug 1.6 (which is in development at time of writing), but that's not guaranteed.
FireLess currently requires the development version of Less, available from GitHub.

The debug_info feature is currently only in the clearideaz branch. When it is in leafo's branch, it will be included within the module.

The next version of the module is coming out soon and will include libraries api support, so you will be able to use a custom version of lessphp easily.
