Problem: Firebug Lite isn't opening the console on Safari iPad iOS 7

[Ed. M.]

Hi,

On my iPad with iOS 7, when I go to the Firebug Lite home page and click on the bookmarklet to add it, the console doesn't open.  If I manually go through the process of adding a new bookmark and copying the javascript into it, then click on the bookmark it still doesn't open.  Any ideas what might be happening?  I'm not seeing any errors or anything like that and if I change the bookmark to something like:  javascript:alert('hi'), that works fine.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I can confirm that Firebug Lite (bookmarklet) is not working in Safari on iOS 7 (iPad Air). Any solution/workaround to make it work?

Sorry for the long delay!

Please note that Firebug Lite development is currently on ice due to a lack of resources. If you want to help us with fixing that, feel free to do so. The code for it is on GitHub.

Happy New Year!
