When I try and make a call to `jetpack.notifications.show` nothing
happens, and if I look in the error console I see:

Unable to display notification: <the message>

I'm using:

Jetpack .5
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5)
Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5
Firebug 1.5X.0b3

Console.log isn't working as well, making it very hard to develop a
jetpack:

Looks like there was an issue with Growl.  After reinstalling growl and restarting firefox, I see notifications now :)

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.

Also make sure you upgrade to Jetpack 0.6 - it has improvements and fixes many issues that 0.5 had.

The latest version of Jetpack is compatible with Firebug 1.4.2.

But Firebug 1.4.2 is not the latest firebug available. Bunch of worthy
bugfixes were made in 1.4.3, included a major change in the activation
system (mainly because Firebug 1.4.2 and prior relied in a buggy
documented Firefox API that didn't work as it said). Not to mention
that the actual latest Firebug version in AMO is 1.4.5, and soon the
1.5 will be released...
