Mozilla Archive Format support

[MyXelf]

For a long time Firebug worked well with the MAFF archives. Recently the CSS panel remains empty upon page loading, the HTML panel displays correctly. I'm assuming it is a Firebug problem cause the Firefox native Inspector correctly displays the HTML and the CSS. I have to manually unpack the archive and open the index.html file as a workaround.

Any help will be appreciated. Feel free to ask for any information that may be useful.

Quickly tried this using FF 27.0.1 + FB 1.12.6 on Win8.1 by installing the Mozilla Archive extension and saving this page as MAFF file
And it's working fine for me when I open Firebug on it.

Which versions of Firefox and Firebug are you using?

Sorry for omitting basic environmental information:

I'm using:

* Kubuntu 13.10 (x64)
* Firefox 27.0.1
* Firebug 1.12.6

Keep asking anything you may consider relevant.

Thanks

I retried it on another PC with Win7 and it's working just fine.
My steps:

1. Installed the Mozilla Archive extension
2. Right-clicked this page and chose Save Page As...
3. Chose Web Archive, MAFF (*.maff) as file type in the Save As dialog and saved the file
4. Opened the file in a new tab
5. Opened Firebug on it
6. Switched to the HTML and the CSS panel

=> Both displayed their contents correctly, the HTML panel the HTML structure, the CSS panel the stylesheets.

If you follow these steps, do you get the same results? If not, you should follow the steps described on our first aid page. I suppose your problem may be related to another extension conflicting with Firebug.

Please let us know what you found out.

Hi:

Thanks Sebastian for your support. I would say that the main difference should be at the Operating System level (Windows vs Linux). Following your guidelines gave me the same results, an empty CSS panel.

What I did:

1. From an entirely new profile, installed Firebug and MAFF extensions
2. Save the Firebug initial page as .maff
3. Open the .maff in a new tab
4. Navigate the HTML and in all the cases the CSS panel remains empty
5. Also I reset all the Firebug options to their defaults and no relevant errors showed up in the Browser Console related to Firebug
   

I'm attaching a picture with the results.

Please let me know anything you may want me to try, but I'm thinking this is a Linux specific issue.

Thanks

Oh, you mean the Style side panel, not the CSS panel. I missed that before but I can also reproduce that on my machine. Sorry for not realizing that before!
Please file an issue for that providing your test case and referring to this thread. Thanks.
