Hey guys, great work on an excellent plug-in. Been relying on it for years.

Am I right to understand that with 1.10 I can no longer step through
scripts loaded via the chrome? Since the demise of chromebug, I've limped
by with FF5 and last version of chromebug, and in other cases loaded the
chrome window directly in the browser bar and used the current Firebug to
step through code and debug.

I got the message after updating that Firebug can't show scripts for
internal sources (don't have the error in front of me,  reverted to 1.9.2);

As FB Trace doesn't seem to offer step-through support, what do you guys
use to debug Firebug as you write it? I feel like I'm missing something
(I've looked at the "working chromebug / firebug / XULRunner combination"
post, but it says basically that there is nothing that can step through
code. Can it be that there is not one robust step-through and DOM
inspection tool for authoring Firefox Extensions in the whole FF Extension
ecosystem?

I would say I'm still a beginning / intermediate FF extension developer -
so maybe I've missed the proper IDE that folks develop extensions in.

thanks again guys,

Ben

For me FBTrace is the main tool helping me debug Firebug.

It doesn't offer step-debugging through the code but gives you all the
information you need when setting FBTrace logs at the right positions. For
inspecting the chrome sources I use DOM Inspector<https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/dom-inspector-6622>
.

It was not an good idea to kick chromebug. Instead Firebug we can use the
Fx internal debugger now and for chrome debugging we have nothing. I see
lots of reasons for chromebug and only one reason for firebug. --->
Chromebug.
