First off, I use this tool every day for my job and I can't image not
using firebug to do my work. Thanks for making a great tool.

I have started using Firefox 3 and thus am using firebug 1.2b6. I
consistently have this problem where the inspect will stop working.
This is an on going problem since version 1. I used to have the
workaround of using refresh which would reload the page and get
firebug's inspect working. The latest version of firebug doesn't seem
to have this. Is there a reason this was removed. Does anyone have an
idea how I can do something similar. right now I try to refresh the
page and that generally works but now always.

Honza has found the problem, but we don't know what will break if we
fix it.

I don't know what you mean but "refresh".

Sorry, I misspoke. By refresh I meant, disabling firebug and re-
enabling it. I just tried disabling the console and re-enabling the
console and that kind of works. What I am hoping for is to not have to
refresh the page. I am mainly using firebug on a dynamic jsp pages
with non-restful URLs so every time I refresh I get redirected.

Thank you for the quick response.
