I don't see such behavior on my machine.

Could you try to create a new Firefox profile and install just Firebug
into it?
This way you can avoid collisions with other extensions or possible
problems
with your current profile.

The best would be to file a bugzilla report.

1) open your crash report and look for "Report this bug". You'll be
navigated to bugzilla
2) Provide your STR (steps to reproduce) and submit
3) cross post the bug report here so, we can follow

Thanks!

1) open your crash report and look for "Report this bug". You'll be
navigated to bugzilla

To open your crash report type about:crashes into the address bar, hit Enter and click the uppermost entry.

Same for me. But I wouldn't point this single release out as performing really slow, it's on the edge of being unusable which is a shame because it used to to be the _best_ developer tool you can have.
It started feel more and more slow with the last few releases. Also with Firefox 15 (and maybe their new memory leak fix) it sometimes hangs the browser for seconds with around 20 tabs open, 1 or 2 tabs having Firebug active.

It's not specific to a certain website, it's everywhere.
Also, switching between tabs that have Firebug active takes multiple seconds.

Having firebug 1.10.3 open on this page causes the slideshow to stop working.
http://slidesjs.com/
It almost seems to disable all javascript. A new error appears in the console approx every 5 seconds (sometimes, usually after clicking something that has an event handler).

On a project where I'm using that slideshow plugin I get about 5 errors per second after I open firebug. Prior to opening firebug everything on my page works fine.

TypeError: a is undefined - jquery.min.js (line 16)

By this link, you mean:

correct?

I recall there was a problem about 1 month ago, but it's been
fixed and it works for me (I just tried that in two different
browsers).

Do you have more precise instructions how to reproduce the problem?

Some more questions:
1) What is your OS?
2) Does it happens if you have Console, Script, Net, Cookies panels
disabled?
3) Do you have any Firebug extensions installed?

Correct.

Hmm, OK, I tried it in Chrome, and I can open the page.  However it says that not all the content is secure.  Clicking on the more information shows this up in the key for the icon:

The site uses SSL, but Google Chrome has detected insecure content on the page. Be careful if you’re entering sensitive information on this page. Insecure content can provide a loophole for someone to change the look of the page.

In Firefox, I am running NoScript 2.5.4 (the latest version at the time of writing).  This could be a NoScript issue where it won't display the page if some of it is not secure?  I've just tried another Firefox profile running NoScript 2.3.9 and it does display the blog page, but displays a pop-up Firefox warning about the insecure content.

I have that problem too, with Linux, and only with Console/Script panels enabled. It's probably just due to not having bug 755574 fixed yet, but JSD2 might also fix it. I posted some things here. Maybe we should make a new issue.

OS information would be valuable here.

This problem is already fixed, see:
http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=5883

Will be in 1.11a3 and 1.10.4

Thanks for the report!

In a Frame-set site when i am trying to inspect an element it works for the first time but when any one frame is getting reloaded that time it is not working. Please check the attachment.

And it starts working after doing restart of firebug (i.e. deactivate and activate)

We already know about that. See issue 5705.

I know this isn't very useful info without real steps to reproduce, but I wanted to let you know that all the developers here are having serious problems with 1.10.3 and Firefox 15. I hate to just complain without offering a way forward, but it's the best I've got.

Problems we've been seeing are all intermittent and inconsistent, but common enough to really be a problem. They are:

1. Firebug won't activate sometimes. Shortcut key and activation button do nothing 
   
2. Code execution in the console panel does nothing sometimes, either by cliacking Run or ctrl-Enter
3. Style panel disappears from HTML view sometimes, haven't figured out how to get it back consistently
4. Watch expression field stays yellow and not enterable sometimes

We do work in a complex, js-, ajax-, and iframe-heavy app. (I'm aware of 5705, doesn't seem to account for any of the above.) 

I'm sorry I can't give you repeatable steps to see any of these issues, but several of use are all seeing them. They're forcing us into the native Firefox tools or Chrome at times, or just limping along.

Just to be clear, I can't tell you how much I/we appreciate Firebug overall. It has quite literally changed my life as a developer. It's a wonderful set of tools, just being a bit problematic sometimes for us at the moment.

Please first try all this on a new Firefox profile with just Firebug installed and let us know if that fixes your problems.

[Jan Honza Odvarko]

Do you have any Firefox extension installed?
If yes, please disable them all.
Have you tried to create a new Firefox profile? Does it help?

I still can't see the problem on my machine.

Win Vista, Firefox 17.0a2 Aurora, Firebug 1.10.3

My STR:
1) Load http://slidesjs.com/
2) Open Firebug, enable all panels
3) Switch to the Console panel
4) Refresh the page.

I don't see any errors in the Console panel

Here is what I see:

(nothing to output)

plugins.js (line 7)

FB.getLoginStatus() called before calling FB.init().

all.js (line 54)

Firefox crashes are not something we can fix. Please report that to Mozilla. To do so read this:

http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Mozilla%20Crash%20Reporter

And please post the backlink to your report here, so we can follow it.

So I'm having an issue that I'm not entirely sure can be attributed to Firebug 1.10.3. This started happening yesterday when I downloaded the latest version of Firefox. 

Everytime I open Firebug to debug a script on my company's platform, I go to the Script tab and see that the scripts haven't been loaded. All right, that's fine, I reload the page. However, almost always, the browser crashes and I'm forced to file a bug report.

Any idea what this may be? I'll see if I can get more info about the crash.
