from 1.4.x to 1.5.0, it continually says "This add-on will be
installed when firefox is restarted". The .xpi file stays in the
'staged-xpis' folder in my profile. Restarting the browser does
nothing.
I created a new blank profile. Then I install 1.5 from scratch. It
downloads the xpi, then says "please restart". After a restart it's
gone from the add-ons window.
Is anyone else having this problem? This has prevented me from using
the 1.5 betas, and now it's a show-stopper for 1.5 since it doesn't
install at all. Win XP SP3, Firefox 3.5.7.

Sorry for the spam; problem turned out to be my antivirus. Kaspersky
AV 2009 silently blocks firefox extension installations. Weird.
Anyway, firebug 1.5 is working for me now, please ignore previous
email.

work is the HTML picker. Only up the the expanded elements it is
possible to select elements on the page but the HTML view doesn't
automatically expand collapsed elements.
Also, for some elements nt even a double click allows me to expand
them. Maybe that's a related problem?

I don't understand what you are describing. Please give a specific
example.

Which 'some' elements?

in a while, when using Firebug 1.5.0, I'll get an alert dialog pop up
saying that a plugin has crashed. It only started happening for me
after updating from the 1.5 beta to 1.5.0.
It was happening to me yesterday when I was debugging a webpage with
Firebug, and I didn't really put two and two together until today, so
I can't remember the exact error that was logged. Something like "Too
much recursion", I think. Not sure if it was caused by Firebug or by
the page I was testing.
Paul
I have just installed firebug 1.5.0 on Ubuntu 9.10
Using Firefox 3.5.7 when i click on the firebug icon on the bottom
right, or right click on it and try and turn firebug on it
consistently crashes my browser.
If i right click on a webpage and click inspect element nothing
happens.
Please help!
Cheers, Paul

click on "HTML" and I see the html element expanded, the head and the
body element collapsed. Then I click on the HTML picker symbol and
hower the mouse over elements in the page. While doing this, FireBug
should expand the HTML tree to at least display the element that my
mouse is currently howering over. But it doesn't.
Now, I try this the other way round: double click on the tree elements
in FireBug to expand them and navigate down the tree. Most elements do
not expand and I just can't access the html tree. (Note: I've just
tried on this page as well just to make sure it'S not down to some
specific and/or broken HTML, and here I can't even expand the body
element in FireBug.)
If this is an unknown bug, then it's probably some other extension
that I'm using. I will therefore uninstall them all and report back if
that was somehow successful.
However, maybe you can find out in the meantime what's causing that
effect.
Jürgen
updating that to version 0.4 the effect described disappeared and
FireBug 1.5 now works properly again.
Good work everyone, this is the second best thing in life.

opensuselinux 64 bit:
It crashes firefox!
Even after deactivating all other addons.
I don't know where this showstopper is comming from?
stefan
I just installed it on ff 3.5.7 on opensuse linux 64 bit.
As soon as I try to open firebug it *crashes* my browser
(without any error).
I deactivated all my addons (i did not uninstall them)
and it still crash my browser.
I downgraded back to firebug 1.4.5 now everything
works fine again.
Is this a Linux problem only??
(I see another guy here with ubuntu having the same problem)

You'll need to contact Firefox team about the Out of Process Plugin
issues.

Well I guess I should post some info to the Firefox team.
Please post the URL from your crash report. If the crashreporter came
up after you crashed, then use URL about:crashes and post the URL(s)
from the time of the crash.
Thanks,

I do not say that firefox is built as 64 bit app.
I only say that I use:
- the opensuse linux 64 bit edition
- the firefox 3.5.7 which comes with this opensuse
(even if its 32 bit, I dont care)
The problem is *not* that firefox is 32 or 64 bit,
the problem is that the *same* firefox 3.5.7:
- works with firebug 1.4.5
- crashes with firebug 1.5.0

Please use about:crashes and post the URL from the crash report.
All crashes are Firefox bugs. All we can do is help report them.

Also when it crashes there is no mozilla crash reporter it just goes straight to desktop.

Ok I guess you are not using a mozilla built firefox. If you install
a mozilla built firefox I can help you.

the url is not the problem.
Go on http://www.google.com if you like, every url crashes.
Note:
It crashes when I click with the mouse on the firebug icon!
Its not a problem of a url!
> Please use about:crashes and post the URL from the crash report.
Sorry "about:crashes" tells me only "no valid url" do I need to start
ff in
some special mode??
> All crashes are Firefox bugs. All we can do is help report them.
I agree full with you that a plugin should not be able to crash the ff
app,
its clear that there must be some serious bug inside firefox
(possibly security relevant too)
but ... would it be possible to try a workaround ???
firebug 1.4.5 does not crash :-)

It's also not a problem of Firebug.

You are probably not using a Mozilla-built Firefox. If you install a
mozilla build you have two choices:
1) 32 bit. The problem is gone.
2) 64 bit. Crashes. You can get the crashreporter URL from
about:crashes.

Firebug is an extension, not in mozilla terminology a "plugin".

Yes, install 32 bit Firefox supported by Mozilla,

Or use Firebug 1.4.5.

unsupported version of Firefox, it's the version included with the OS
provided by Mozilla.

Mozilla does not support linux 64 bit firefox. But you don't have to
take my word for it, you can ask them yourself.
To repeat: there is nothing we can do about Firefox crashing. Nothing.

It works great.

Mozilla does not provide a 64bit version of Firefox. John was talking
about Mozilla supported versions.
Anyone can take the code and make their own versions, fork it,
whatever. You can follow Ubuntu's take here:

I spend most of my day in firebug, and the speed improvement was so
radical, that I can't resist to tell you a big thank you for that.
jlizarraga
are:
- Firebug actually closes when Firefox closes now.
- My enhancement request to be able to inspect an element on the HTML
tab without expanding it was implemented. :)
- The improvements to inspecting Ajax on the Console tab, including
the "Source" view and parsed XML responses (also the JSON parsing is
WAY more reliable).
One thing that is bugging the crap out of me, though, is that the DOM
tab seems to have lost its persistence. Before the upgrade, if I was
several levels deep into some JS object and reloaded the page, Firebug
would remember what I was looking at when I went back to the DOM tab.
Now, I have to re-expand all those levels every time. Maybe there is
just an option or something that I'm missing, but if that is the case
then the default has been reversed.
Keep up the great work!

This is the same thing as the issue we had with the HTML panel just
before 1.5.0 was released. Indeed, the problem occurs on other panels.
I created an issue for you at:
