Hi,

Im having trouble with Firebug. I dont know how to pin it my browser.

Every time I want to use firebug, i'll press Ctrl+F12 and it opens in
a new window.

Thanks,
Rex

Ctrl+F12 is the keyboard shortcut for open in new window.

Yes.. its a keyboard shortcut. But I cant see the Firebug Pin/UNpin button that supposedly besides the OFF button of the Firebug.

Firebug has three red buttons on the upper right corner, minimize,
open in new window, and off.

Control - F12 opens in new window.
F12 first opens then toggles minimize/unminimze.

I don't know what is Pin/Unpin.

If you don't see three buttons, then your configuration files are
messed up. I suggest you install Firebug in a new Firefox profile. See

I think I see your problem ... when Firebug is opened as a popup there
is only an off button in the top right.

Do you have "File, View and Edit" at the top of the Firebug window? If
you do then:
1. Click 'View' -> 'Options' and make sure that 'Always Open in New
Window' is not selected.
2. Close the Firebug window
3. Open Firefox and press <F12> or click on the Firebug icon and
Firebug should appear docked (pinned)

I don't understand why we hide the 'minimize' and 'open in new window'
buttons when Firebug is opened in a new window ... instead of hiding
them we should surely just change the tooltips and their behaviour:
o The minimize button should minimize Firebug even if it means it
needs to be docked first
o The open in new window button should change to a dock button

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the help.

I  have just follow your instruction and re-install firebug with the latest version.

Now it works fine as well.

Rex
