Joe,

First of all, great extension. I have been using betas as fast as they
come out, truly awesome.

I have run into an issue with 1.3.0 and Firefox 3.0.4. I used to run
1.2, it stopped breaking at breakpoints after the latest Firefox
update. I was looking for an excuse to go to 1.3, here it was.

After upgrade, no scripts show up in the Script tab when doing file:///
files. I can pick any of them, but the left pane below it is
completely blank: no scripts, no line numbers, no breakpoints, not a
thing. http:// URLs seem to work fine.

Is this one of those great new firefox 3.0.x security things?

Thanks,
Avi

Could be that file URLs capability is broken, I almost never test file
URLs. I'll take a look but if you have a specific example that fails
you can attach it to a bug report. Of course the next thing I will ask
is that you try 1.4a2 since that is what we are working on.

John,

I created a really simple file, loaded it up on Web server, works great; locally, nothing.

<html>
<head>
<title>Simple Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<script language="javascript">
function doClick() {
    console.log("I was clicked");
}
</script>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Press Me" onclick="doClick();"></input>
</form>
</body>
</html>

It could be other plug-ins, although I doubt it. Might be one of those Firefox 3 things. I know there are some interesting file URI-related settings.

I was wary of trying 1.4a2, afraid it was too new. Should I try?

Avi

Ha! Even better! The Script panel is entirely gone with 1.4a2!

And console.log doesn't work, because console is not defined.

And firebug won't open in the same window for file:// URIs. Oh, well....

yea, that'll teach you to complain about it!

getfirebug.com will have 1.4a3 later today.

It's all about perspective, right? Touche....

I rolled back to 1.3b2. What can I do to help debug why it is not opening? I would rather figure out the problem for you, when I already have it in my environment, than give you the symptoms and ask you to figure it out.

I just tried Firebug 1.4Xa2 on your file URL example and it worked
fine. Firefox 3.0.3.

1.4a2 is 1.4Xa2 with tracing removed. 1.4a2 was broken because the
trace removal was incorrect, hence 1.4a3

The tracing version will be need to investigate your issue if it is
Firebug.

But if now if I go back to your original post, I propose that Firebug
was fine all along, and the problem you have are caused by another
extension or my use of Firefox 3.0.3.

John,

I tried 1.4Xa2. The script tab is back, and the firebug embedded opens, and console.log works. The script window is still empty, though; nothing will bring it back. I am using Firefox 3.0.4. I also disabled every other plugin (S3, ElasticFox, GreaseMonkey, FireGPG), and still have the issue, though.

Tell me how to debug it, I am happy to.

Avi, this looks like a bug in Firebug for Firefox 3.0.4. I have the
same problem on windows. Thanks for letting us know.

Fixed at R1364 on branches/firebug1.4. Will be in Firebug 1.4a4.

This problem should affect all versions of Firebug with Firefox
3.0.4+.

We'll need to fix 1.3 and go to b3.

Not. Just Firebug 1.3 and 1.4. They are the versions that support the
new nsiTracableChannel that avoids the double load problem.
