Firefox5 and Firebug 1.8.3 is not compatible with FirePHP

[jeeba]

I was using firebug 1.7 and firefox 4. Yesterday I Downloaded the last
Firefox5, and need to install the newest version of firebug i think it
is 1.8.3 -rc something... Well this combo doesnt work with FirePHP, I
had to downgrade Firefox to keep it working.

The FirePHP extension (at 0.5.0) is currently not compatible with Firefox 5.

You can install DeveloperCompanion which will be replacing the FirePHP
extension soon:

http://developercompanion.com/

You will need to upgrade your server library which you can download here:

http://reference.developercompanion.com/Tools/FirePHPCompanion/Install/

Everything should work as before.

Let me know if you run into any issues.

Do you intend to make it compatible at some point or is it at the end
of its life cycle?

Actually, FirePHP extension (at 0.5.0) DOES work with Firefox 5.

The problem is Firebug 1.8 but it works fine with Firebug 1.7 which
works on Firefox 5 now as well.

Alternatively you can install DeveloperCompanion
(http://developercompanion.com/) instead of the FirePHP extension. No
need to change anything on the server side.

The FirePHP extension will get an update to work with Firebug 1.8 in time.

Just my two cent. I managed to install FireCompanion with Firebug
1.8.3. My OS is a Ubuntu 11 and im currently using firefox 5. But i
have to unistall Firefox and remove the hidden directory of .mozilla
located in my /home directory to make it work, because, apparently i
had some issues with Firebug that didnt allow me to change CSS on the
fly. I think it has nothing to do with FirePHP but maybe it will help
someone looking for information about Firefox .

PD: FireCompanion Rocks! Thanks for doing it!.

I have Firefox 4 with Firebug 1.7.3, and the Firefox upgrader tells me
that FirePHP 0.5.0 is not compatible with Firefox 5 and will be
disabled. Can this be safely ignored? (Do I need to change the version
compatibility setting in FirePHP manually afterwards?)

You may have installed FirePHP from:

http://www.firephp.org/

instead of:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firephp/

The mozilla add-ons site automatically increments the max version while
I have not uploaded a new one to the FirePHP site yet.

Will upload new version this week.

DeveloperCompanion/FireCompanion is designed for Firefox 4+ and will
work with Firebug 1.7+ (including 1.8+).

The discussion was about the FirePHP Firefox Extension.

Thanks for the upgrade tips.

Thanks! Reinstalling FirePHP from addons.mozilla.org helped.
