I am also a member of the Mozilla dev-tools team and one of the Firebug's goals in the future is to reuse Firefox built-in tools and components. This way, we can reduce amount of work on Firebug side and also make sure that APIs of these built-in tools are well designed.
So, Firebug would still be a Firefox extension, but built on top of much better APIs, adding advanced features (e.g. those that are not suitable to be natively in Firefox).
It's also an advantage for other dev-tools that can appear (as Firefox extensions) - especially for those that integrate with Firebug.
