I have had a problem with FB not picking up stlye sheets since 0.41 and
FF2.0.
I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem?
I have disabled every plugin barring DOM Inspector, Talkback and
Firebug 1.0 but still get:
'Unable to show styles. You must install DOM Inspector.'
when I try to inspect CSS?
If anyone has seen this behaviour, or knows how to correct I'd be very
apprecaitive.
Best rgds and thanks in advacne

When selecting an element in the HTML tree, the "Style" tab in the
right pane says "Unable to show styles. You must install DOM
Inspector."
I even tried it with the DOM Inspector already up and running for the
page, no difference.

Ditto with Firefox 2.0 on Windows. DOM Inspector definitely installed
and working.
As I said I thought that maybe it was another plugin interferring, but
after disabling everuthing I stiil found the same behaviour :(
Happy that I have 1.0 but disappointed I cant get CSS.
Same problem under Linux using the official FF 2.0 build downloaded
minutes ago.

Also I have to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the developer for
creating Firebug. It is quite simply everything I ever wished I had for
debugging browser markup, scripts, and CSS. I donated first time
around, will donate more on this release, and encourage everyone else
to do so.
Did I say THANK YOU yet?
I cannot see anything in the css tab at all, but my co-worker (who also
just installed it, sees & edits css fine.
We are both running Firefox 2.0, in Windows XP Pro.
Yes, I too am having this problem. I can't see any CSS info with the
new Firebug 1.0 beta. I'm running Firefox 2.0 on Windows.
"Must install DOM inspector"
Me too.
XP SP2, FF2.0, DOM Inspector definitely working.

I don't know what is different in clean install, but simple uninstall
and reinstall DOM Inspector it not working...
Reinstall Firefox is one minute work. On my corporate pc works Firebug
immediately, on my home pc and notebook I must do reinstall.

Thank you, this fixed Firebug for me.
Since uninstalling without renaming/deleting does not work, I looked at
this bug more closely: There was an inspector*.dll (and some other
files starting with inspector*) left in the components directory. The
version of the dll was 1.7.something, although my DOM-Inspector's
version had been 1.8.1, so I suspect it was left over from a previous
installation.
If anyone still encounters this problem, you might just try
deleting/moving away these files.

I also notice that the DOM Inspector works better. It's funny that I
didn't notice before, but the CSS info was definitely blank in the DOM
inspector since I'd upgraded to FF2, but I hadn't really paid much
attention to that. Now it works in both Firebug and DOM Inspector.
So this really ends up being a Firefox 2 install bug, rather than a
Firebug issue.
- Jim
1. Add/Remove Programs - remove Mozilla Firefox 2.0
2. Rename the "c:\program files\Mozilla Firefox" folder (to "c:\program
files\Mozilla Firefox-old")
3. Re-install Mozilla Firefox 2.0 & firebug
var domUtils = null;
try {
domUtils = CCSV("@mozilla.org/inspector/dom-utils;1",
"inIDOMUtils");
} catch (exc) {
// We can try to live without "dom-utils", since it only comes with
DOM Inspector
}
Later on it uses domUtils to produce the error message we're all
seeing:
if (!domUtils)
{
FirebugReps.Warning.tag.replace({object:
"DOMInspectorWarning"}, this.panelNode);
return;
}
So, we need to determine why the XPCOM component
@mozilla.org/inspector/dom-utils;1 isn't available. There's a nice
viewer addon to peruse the components in your system here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2230/ I had to hack the XPI to get
it to install in FF 2.0, but it works. I found that, as expected, the
inIDOMUtils interface isn't there. So, it looks like something with the
DOM Inspector is getting messed up.
To be honest, I'd just code around this and not rely on something
optional being installed. But that's a bigger task and I'm not the one
doing it, so it's easy to say :)

But why not format your hard disk, and reinstall Windows?
Surely yours is a solution, but not very good, IMHO. Reinstall Firefox
is one minute work. Reinstall bookmark, too. Reinstall extensions, not
sure it's a minute work. Configuring pref.js with my personal settings,
definitely NOT a minute work.
But why not format your hard disk, and reinstall Windows?
If you're really paranoid, just make a backup copy of your Firefox
application folder, uninstall, and then delete the application folder.
You'll still have the backup in case you need to restore a particular
file.

More information about profiles:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile
There are only two things that are in Firefox folder:
1) serach engines
2) core plugins (usually only Flash)
Of course you can spend hours by finding better solution, it is on you
;-)

I vote DiGi for Hall of Fame - where do we send the beers DiGi?
Yes, you are right. I know what is a profile and how Firefox manages
profiles, but I had wrongly understood that to solve the problem it is
needed to delete the profiles besides disinstalling Firefox.
Indeed, since I was really interested in Firebug, I disinstalled
Firefox and delete my profile folder, after having made a backup of it.
When I have reinstalled Firefox, I tried to copy some of the files of
my backupped folder to the new one and check Firefox each time, and
finally I realized with surprise that Firebug did work with the same
files of my backupped profile folder.
Thanks.
Re-installing Firefox doesn't seem to do the trick for me. I
uninstalled Firefox, reinstalled it, but still see "Unable to show
styles" in the Style tab. And yes, I do have the DOM Inspector
installed. Still, thank you for helping.

Delete the following (old) files from the "components" folder (in the
main Mozilla Firefox folder):
inspector.dll
inspector.xpt
inspector-cmdline.js
Now you can just re-install Firefox 2 OVER the previous install - you
do not have to uninstall Firefox beforehand !
This has now been tried on 5 computers and works a treat.

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch.
This works for me, too! Thanks! The CSS style rules have not worked
in DOM Inspector for a long time. I thought it was just a bug in the
Inspector and waited around patiently for it to be fixed. Then I tried
installing Firebug to replace this functionality, and it didn't work,
either. But it *did* give me a helpful link to the FAQ and this page
when it did so.

On Firefox 2.0.0.1, removed the DOM-Inspector via the AddOns window,
removed the files as specified above and just restarted Firefox.
Everything seems to be working okay now (CSS tab is working as
intended), _without_ having the DOM Inspector even installed... Neither
needed to reinstall Firefox...
there is a bugzilla thread on this issue at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306340
and there is a temp fix in comment #22
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306340#c22
the problem is that each you install or update any extension, you'll
have to fix it by hand. i haven't tried DiGi's solution, but tried
several others involving profiles and stuff and nothing was as stable
as this solution.
anyway, if you care for firebug, it would be nice to cast a vote on
this bug ; )
hope it helps. cheers.
the problem is that each *time* you install or update any extension...

1. Exit Firefox.
2. Open the xpti.dat file in your Firefox *profile* directory (not the
application directory).
3. Find the line "223,inIDOMUtils,{ffffd059-13d1-4ef7-
acb1-91188c6e31dd},2,-1,1" (the 223 may be different)
4. Replace with "223,inIDOMUtils,{78fd16c2-bdfb-4b1d-8738-
d536d0a8f430},0,-1,1" (the 223 should match whatever you had before).
5. Save & restart Firefox.
6. CSS view works!
imho, a better solution was given in this groups. take a look at this msg:
http://groups.google.com/group/firebug/msg/a0807b5de9d07073
hope it helps =D
the easiest solution is :
- uninstall Firebug;
- delete those files (backup them before) :
inspector.dll
inspector.xpt
inspector-cmdline.js
- reinstall Firebug
and that's all.
