new version

[Tony Chamberlain]

We used to be running firefox 25.0. I installed firebug and firepath as add-ons.  When I right-clicked on a page I would get a menu which had, among other options, "inspect with Firebug".  Selecting that would bring up the firebug menu and show the HTML and display a firefinder and firepath option and things worked fine.

Yesterday we went to 29.0 (firefox).  I searched for firebug and firefinder, downloaded them and installed, the most stable version (today is May 9, 2014).  Now when I right click I get an option "firefind element" but when I select it, nothing happens.  I thought maybe it was because popups were blocked.  I went to the firefox options and indeed popups were blocked, so I unchecked and restarted firefox and tried "firefind element" again but same thing, nothing happened.

Anyone know what may be wrong?  When I submit this I will look over the suggested solutions it gives me and see if any of them apply so if you receive this message it means I did not find an applicable solution.

Thanks

Tony

What Firebug version do you use?

firepath 0.9.7  and firebug1.12.8 (which strangely says disabled).  Firefinder for firebug 1.4

Looks like for some reason it was disabled.

Where exactly do you see the message saying that Firebug is disabled?

What options do you have in mind?

For me, if I right click on an element in the HTML panel I can see "Inspect in FirePath panel". If I click it the FirePath panel is selected and the element highlighted. I can also see the xpath in tht toolbar.

Can you also try Firebug 2 beta 5?

Firefinder just seems to work when Firebug is actually opened. Though then the Firefind Element option inside the page's context menu works fine for me.
Could you fix your problem by activating the Firebug extension and opening it before using the context menu option?

How do I do that?  I do see the firebug icon but only (see the picture) below

Looks like it is on already?  This is now firefox 29.0 and they are always fooling around with the layout so it is increasingly more and more difficult to find things.
