I have Firefox 3.5.5 and Firebug 1.4.5, but on about:jetpack it
continues to display:

You either don't have the latest version of Firebug installed, or you
don't have it enabled for this page, so all logging messages will
appear in the JS Error Console. If you get Firebug 1.4 Alpha and
enable it for this page, and then reload this page, all logging
messages will be logged to the Firebug Console, where it's much easier
to debug problems and inspect live objects.

So I enable Firebug for about:jetpack, and the Firebug console says:

Thanks for using Jetpack with Firebug! Please note that if you want to
see your Jetpack's logging messages, you'll have to switch to the
Firebug panel on the about:jetpack tab.
"Reload to activate window console"

I then refresh about:jetpack and Firebug deactivates and is disabled
in the status bar, I'm back to square one. I never see a Firebug panel
in the about:jetpack tab, whatever that means. Maybe I'm not
understanding the messsage "switch to the Firebug panel on the
about:jetpack tab" - does that mean that there should be a button
saying "Firebug" on the about:jetpack page? I'm not sure what "the
about:jetpack" tab means, I only know how to display about:jetpack in
a browser page, I have no idea what a jetpack tab is.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Firebug 1.4.3+ using a new API that jetpack hasn't yet been updated
for.

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521078 for more info
and patch.

If you apply the modification that Honza proposes on that thread, the
logging to firebug works again. It's not difficoult to make the patch,
just edit this file:

%Firefox_Profile%/extensions/jet...@labs.mozilla.com/content/js/xul/firebug-extension.js

Restart firefox, and you're done.

Thanks to inji, we've commited the patch that fixes the problem. 


The next dot release of Jetpack should include it :)

And when is the next release with this patch?
It's rather cumbersome to develop a jetpack without firebug.

Hi,

If you don't want to wait or if you're not able to patch* your Jetpack
installation you could install this extension:
http://tb4.fr/labs/jetpack/jetpack-0.6.2-all.xpi (2.25Mb).

Please remember that is not an official build. I made it from the
trunk (it will likely become Jetpack 0.6.3):
http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/

* http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/rev/e3fea7d93898

Regards,
Thomas

Installing the new xpi partially fixed the problem. about:jetpack now
recognizes that I have Firebug installed, warns me about memory leaks
and doesn't close firebug when I reload the page. However, I still get
the following message in the firebug console and when I click on the
example in the tutorial that contains the call to console.log, nothing
is logged.


Thanks for using Jetpack with Firebug! Please note that if you want to
see your Jetpack's logging messages, you'll have to switch to the
Firebug panel on the about:jetpack tab.
"Reload to activate window console"

Also, that message doesn't make sense. Isn't it telling me that I need
to open firebug while I'm looking at about:jetpack? Obviously I'm
already doing that or I wouldn't see the message. Right?

It means that if you are  working on another tab the messages will still go to about:jetpack
