Firebug showing wrong UI

Question

I am facing a strange issue related to Firebug in my Firefox.

I have Mozilla firefox installed (51.0.1 [32-bit]) in my Windows machine and I have Firebug 2.0.18 installed, but when I click the Firebug button to open it up, it is sometimes showing the default developer tools which Firefox provides. Below are the screenshots to look at what I am getting:

But I want something like this:

Can someone guide me what to do to enable the previous UI of Firebug again?

Firebug is officially discontinued. You were automatically switched to the Firefox DevTools, because with the Firefox update multi-process Firefox was enabled for you.

You can get Firebug to work again temporarily (until multi-process Firefox is mandatory) by changing a preference. See my answer to a related question how to do that. I've also explained the alternatives to the Firefox DevTools.

If you want to give them a try, you should read the migration guide for Firebug users.

There is a blog post on Mozilla Hacks explaining the details.
