(I'm a member of the Firefox Developer Tools team)

Our RDP (Remote Debugging Protocol) is not interoperable with the one in Chrome or any other browser. There are two reasons:

1) Both us and Chrome team would like to iterate on our protocols and tools as fast as we can. Maybe in future, when tools across browsers stabilize there will be a case for a standard but I personally believe that a wrapper protocol is a better answer.

2) RDPs depend on their platform's architecture. Ours is very SpiderMonkey centric while Chrome's is all about V8.

Google organized a nice Summit during the I/O this year and I attended on behalf of our team (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOO9Kb1-JJU). I shared my thoughts on interoperability and other issues here: https://medium.com/web-developer-tools/1060a9f69e6a

Hope that helps.
