big bug in HTML view - tags show as "undefinedundefined"

[NK]

Hi,

I've been using Firebug for quite a couple of years on and off for js
debugging and dom inspecting, quite a lot.

Strangely today the plugin has developed a pretty bad bug. I'm using v
1.4.5.

No matter what site I look at, whenever I Inspect a Dom element all
markup is shoing with each tag having the work "undefined" in it.

so a doc body might start as

<bodyundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined>
<divundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined>
<pundefinedundefinedundefined>

etc etc

Ive tried uninstalling Firebug and reinstalling it with no result.

Has anyone else seen this bug.

I'm using FireFox v 3.5.6 on Windows XP.

Thanks,

NK

I think your analysis is not correct. Firebug does not have such
dynamic code that it can 'develop' a bug.

I guess that Firebug is work just fine, since as you say at the
beginning it worked for you for a long time. So what could be another
explanation of the 'undefined'? My guess is that you installed
another extension or virus that now writes on the Firefox web page DOM
but fails. So Firebug is just showing you the result that is in
Firefox.

Ok, more evidence that Firebug is not the problem.

To solve the problem, install Firebug in a new Firefox profile:

I am actually having this issue right now as well.

<html:divundefinedundefinedundefined>
<bodyundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined>
<styleundefined>
</style>
<divundefinedundefinedundefined>
</div>
<divundefined>
</div>
<divundefined>
<divundefined>
</div>

happened after I restarted FF after running in safe mode.
