What do you mean by "no longer works"? Might it be related to Acebug? Then see issue 5709 and install version 1.10 of Acebug.

Can you provide detailed baby-step instructions what to do
to see the problem on our machines?

E.g.
1) Load facebook.com
2) Select the HTML panel
3) find this element...

etc.

Sorry Honza, I can't reproduce it yet. It seems totally random. Can't figure out a pattern. I thought it might be a common problem with the new version. That's why I looked up this group to maybe find a hotfix or something.

Your problem might be covered by issue 5654.

Nope I went through the tests and it's not the same thing. Even though I can see the "you can create a rule" it disappears pretty fast and the styles show up.

This case doesn't always show no style. It is mixed sometimes. So I can see a part of the style but not the full style. And If I try to add a new style to the existing the whole css disappears but the changes are not applied.

I see. This might be a conflict with another extension.
I suggest you follow the steps at our wiki page and let us know if that fixes your problem.
Btw. are you the same person as the initial poster? So we can make sure it's the same issue.

Will do.

No I'm not the starter but his problem sounds similar so I think we might have the same issue.
I had some Problems during the update process with flashbug. I think firebug includes flashbug in the new version right ?

Will try to figure out if one extension is causing the problem. But like I said it seems random so it might take a while.

Best regards,
Michael

Firecookie was integrated into Firebug. Flashbug is still a separate extension. See the feature descriptions of 1.10.

Could be that Flashbug or another extension is the culprit. So it's important to check that out. So thanks in advance for your help.

yeah exactly i mixed up firecookie and flashbug :)

Another thing i realized is that firebug doesn't show and highlight changes in the DOM tree of the iframe. I add a class via jquery and I see the changes in the styles tab but the DOM tree stays unchanged and i cannot see the yellow changes flashing. I disabled / enabled this setting but no change. If I change the page in the iframe i can see that the html is changing in the DOM tree. I don't want to mess up with problems here so if you want I will add or search for a similar topic to seperate the problems.

Best regards,
Michael

Need to add that Flashbug got merged into FlashFirebug.
