When using FireDiff 1.2.0 the changes tab doesn't show at all. When using FireDiff 1.1.5 the tab shows, but this version isn't compatible with the latest versions of FireBug.
I have no idea how to resolve this issue, since it's the same as if the extension has never been installed. It is activated and I restarted Firefox several times after installing.

I would really like to use FireDiff and would appreciate any help on this!

FireBug version: 1.11.4
Firefox version: 22.0
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

This is obviously due to some problems in the localization.

I attached a fixed version. I also created a pull request for this at the github repo.

Thank you, works just like it should now!

If it is of any help, I'm using Firefox in German, while FireBug is in English. FireDiff seems to be completely in German, I guess it's choosing its localization depending on the language of the browser. I'd actually prefer it to be in the same language as FireBug, seeing as its an extension for it. An option to choose the language would be fine too, even better. It's not really an issue though, at least for me.

The logic between choosing the right language in Firebug and FireDiff differs. And I guess changing that will require some bigger refactoring.
Anyway, I'm not the developer of this extension. So if you want this to be fixed, please report an issue for it in the FireDiff issue tracker.
