At some point during my development I introduced an error where
firebug is showing an error indicating "setting a property that has
only a getter". While it is great that firebug picked this up, there
is absolutely no indication or hint as to where to begin looking.
Right now I have been searching for a pin in a haystack. Our web app
is extremely large. Does anybody have any suggestions?

1) Join me in complaining to Firefox about the quality of their error
messages.
2) Install Firebug 1.7a4, use Firebug > Firebug Icon Menu > Open
Tracing, set Options ERRORS and FBS_ERRORS. See if the error call
stack or object info has more details.

I will see if I can get this version as I am constrained by policy.
The latest version we have, which I have installed, is 1.5.3. I am
assuming by your response is that I am out of luck with this version?

Depends. If your policy is "no-downloads", then yes that's a problem,
I don't know how to help (unless you are an IBM customer, in that case
email me).

If your policy is 1.5.3, then you can use 1.5X.3 to look at the trace

Our network is isolated from "The Internet". But, we can put in
requests for software which is what I am going to do.

Unless you are working on top-secret military or intelligence
projects, that policy is, frankly, nuts
