unfortunately with firefox 16.0 firebug causes the right-click menu to stop
working properly. you can no long open links in new pages or tabs, bookmark
pages, view source etc. The only (right-click) menu items that work are
select-all and firebug.

Here is what I am doing:

1) Load https://getfirebug.com/
2) Open Firebug (F12)
3) Right click (or middle click) on Documentation link at the top of
the page.
4) Pick "Open Link in New Tab"
5) The tab is properly opened.

Can you install Firebug into a new Firefox profile and check again?

Does it help?

I have found that uninstalling firebug entirely, restarting firefox, and
reinstalling firebug (in the same profile) fixes the problem.
I can only assume that the firefox upgrade from 15.1 to 16.0, or the
firebug upgrade to the current version caused some sort of corruption.

I have done a test, installing current firebug on firefox 15.1, then
upgrading firefox to 16.0 and right-click behaviour stays as it should.
I then tested to see if the problem was with the firebug 10.1.3 to 10.1.4
update.
i installed firebug 10.1.3 on firefox 16.0 then updated it to firebug
10.1.4 and this creates the problem reported. It appears to be repeatable.
if you could confirm this, thanks.

you appear to be correct. just restarting firefox seems to fix the problem.

I use the Menu Editor add-on to rearrange/disable Firefox menu items. One
of the first changes I made was to place the "Inspect Element With Firebug"
item first in the context menu, because I use it so often. With Firebug
1.10.3 and 1.10.4, this no longer persists across Firefox sessions. If I
restart Firefox, "Inspect Element With Firebug" will go back to the bottom
of the context menu. Can something be done to prevent this, or have
architectural decisions made it unavoidable?

For some reason FireBug disappears fully from my popup window.
It works great in "normal" windows, but in the popup window open from this
(working) page, it disappears completly (no F12, no ContextMenu, no icon
(ok, this is well known)).

Using FF16.0.1 german, FB1.10.4

I haven´t had this before, but i´m not sure when this behaviour changed
like this...

The link to bug 5783 in the blog post is wrong.

Is: h5783ttp://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=

Hi Siemova,

I just checked this by creating a new Firefox profile (16.0.1) and
installing Firebug 1.10.4<https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Install_Firebug_into_a_clean_pr...>and Menu
Editor <https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/> 1.2.7 on it
on WinXP. And it was working fine for me. After moving the context menu
entry *Inspect Element With Firebug* up and restarting the browser it was
still at the position I moved it to.
If it's still not working for you, try to disable and re-enable Firebug and
then move the menu entry again.

Sebastian

Thanks, Sebastian. Disabling and re-enabling Firebug, then repositioning
the menu item, with a browser restart between each step (at least one
seemed to be required for the change to "stick", so I decided to play it
safe), seemed to clear up the issue. No clean profile required.
