My suggestion is a new Firefox profile, reinstall almost never solves
any problem because Firefox retains the configuration information when
you uninstall.

I'm getting this issue too, as of today.

Haven't installed any new add-ons since it was working as far as I remember
- don't use Firebug daily on this PC so can't be 100% sure.

Have tried a new Firefox profile with no other add-ons too.

If script panel is disabled, I get the normal 'Script Panel is disabled'
message and a link to enable it. As soon as I enable it I get the "Debugger
not activated" message in the script panel.

Firefox 4.0
Firebug 1.7.0

Try Firebug Icon Menu > Options > reset all
Does it help?

Try Firebug 1.8a1 on FF4: http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.8
does that help?

(1.8a1 has fixes that will be in 1.7.1).

Neither of those suggestions help.

FYI - no "options" on menu activated by right click on Firebug icon if you
are referring to the icon in the Add-on bar (Windows XP here - does that
make a difference?). But, did the reset via Tools > Firebug > etc. which I'm
sure is what you were asking.

Tried reset before and after installing 1.8a1 too.

Sorry, forget the no options menu issue - just noticed the Firebug icon in
top left of Firebug window pane - never used it before :)

Hi John

Tried the re-install (again, had tried it before). This time it worked!
Maybe first time I did something wrong, it was late at night!

Anyway, armed with a working version I decided to try some digging - very
crude as I don;t have the right tools/knowledge for this environment but, it
turns out, quite fruitful.

I've narrowed down my problem to the following line in prefs.js:

   user_pref("extensions.firebug.DBG_FBS_FUNCTION", true);

With this, I get the problem. Delete it and script panel works again.

Hope this helps with a fix for others.

Perhaps we have a bug in a tracing call that throws an exception. But
without a test case its hard to say.

Yes, LogFunctionStepper constructor calls this.intitialize(), which is
not defined.
Removed at R9974

Do we need that function?

(should be ported into 1.7)

No, I'll write it over again. It was an attempt to trace function
calls using the new stepper objects, but it did not work well enough.
I did not realize the tracing option still used it.

I had this problem twice, and it worked without reinstalling firefox oder
plugins.

I don't know what of these steps did it, but after i played around wild it
worked.

* Deactivate Firebug
* Activate Firebug
* Delete Firebug Preferences
* Deactivate Scripts
* Activate Scripts
* Edit Css in Live Mode
* ! Wild clicking in the Dom-Model
* ! Open Firebug in extra Window
* ! Reload Page with Strg+Shift+R
* ! Restart Firefox

I think it must be one of the steps i marked with a !.

Maybe someone will test it and have success.

Quick and easy fix that worked for me:

* Go to configuration (with about:config in location bar. details
here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config).
* Search for "FINDDEBUGGER".
* Double-click the entry to change "value" to "true"
* Close the window / tab and reload your page.  Debugger should
appear.

This is interesting. Do you know why it helps?

I was receiving the same  "debugger not activated" message. I had to close
all the firefox windows, and kill a task still running in the background
and restart. When it came up I got a firebug change history so maybe after
it updates in the background it breaks until you restart.

Hi,
The same problem happened to me recently. I've cleared cache and cookies
and it worked fine. Not sure, probably clearing cache only will be enough.
In Firefox choose Tools -> Clear Recent Hisotry -> Cache(checkbox)
Reload the page or restart Firefox and it should work fine.

There are two issues I know of that can cause this message to appear:

   - Issue 5646 <http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=5646>
   - Issue 5118 <http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=5118>
