Hi,

I`m trying to run firebug in a custom-made browser based on mozilla.
In my development tool every file counts and to upload a file I need
to declare type, name and later import this file. Up to now we don't
have a multiple-file drag&drop copy mechanism.
So I have a essential question: I tried to run firebug on my browser,
but it doesn`t work. I uploaded firebug-lite.js and several files in
style/xp path. Those were files I checked firebug tries to use while
it`s loading (several images and firebug.html and css file). But it
still didn`t help.
Is there any list of essential files needed for firebug to run? Maybe
I`m making some othere unrecognisable error, but I can`t figure it
out.

Every help wold be greatly appreciated.

Note, that Firebug Lite != Firebug.
If it's a Mozilla-based browser, it should be possible to get Firebug to run. I didn't test that, but I think the only thing you have to do is to add your browser's id to the install.rdf file of Firebug plus version compatibility info.

Also note that Firebug is based no tabbed browser so, if your custom-browser is based only on XUL Runner (no tabs) some changes in the Firebug code would be necessary.

Ok, I didn`t express myself too clearly, sorry for that.
I`m running firebug-lite on this browser and it works ok from the live
link. But it takes a while to download it every time browser restarts
(it always clears cache). So I tried to download it and run from local
link after uploading files into my development tools. I have to uplaod
every file one by one manually so I`d like to avoid uploading every
one from the 767 files and creating over 100 folders manually. I
checked in debugger in another browser that it dowloads several images
and a html and css file, but uploading these files still didn`t
help...

So general case is: firebug lite runs from live link, but I can`t make
it work from local link and I can`t figure why.

I attached the in my eyes minimal download version including a test file fblite.html. That are 65 files without the test page.
