I uninstalled FB 1.9.2 because I couldn't get the debugger to run.
After reinstalling the toolbar icons are gone. I set
extensions.firebug.showStatusIcon to true but that didn't help.
Fx13.0

1) how to show the toolbar icons?
2) what to do the next time the debugger quits running.

extensions.firebug.showStatusIcon is for displaying Firebug icon in
Firefox add-on bar

If you pick Firefox Menu -> View -> Toolbars -> Customize...
to open Customize Toolbar Dialog, do you see Firebug icon there?

If you create fresh new profile and install only Firebug into it
does it work?

Can you provide exact steps of what doesn't work so, we can reproduce
on our machines?

E.g. here is my Scenario that works:

1) Install Firefox 13 and Firebug 1.9.2
2) Load ttps://www.google.com/
3) Press F12 to open Firebug UI
4) Enable the Script panel, reload the page
5) Create a breakpoint on line 6, reload the page
6) The debugger must break at the breakpoint -> WORKS FOR ME

The status bar icon is no longer supported in Firebug 1.10

You want to use add-on bar + Firebug Start button

I have trouble too with the Firebug icon, using 1.10.0b2 in Nightly.

I put the icon on the add-on bar, but there is just a space where a gray bug should be.

If I click this space, Firebug opens, and I get an orange bug.

I have tried the quoted link and other stuff, but no love.

So the Start Button is actually there. Sounds like another extension conflicts with Firebug. Did you already try to create a new Firefox profile?

Sending a screenshot(s) could also help.

I made a new profile, and it worked. (Sorry, I never thought of that.)

It turns out that the Nuvola theme -- http://mozilla.paenglab.ch -- through 1.15+ is the culprit.

Thanks for your help, all.

Good to know. You should contact the author of that theme, so he can fix it.

If the Firebug Start button is moved to the add-on bar and a new window is opened from java script with specifications that do not include the toolbar, the icon in the add-on bar is not rendered. Something like this:
myWindow=window.open('','','width=200,height=100')
myWindow.document.write("<p>This is 'myWindow'</p>")
myWindow.focus()

Unless I am mistaken the only way to open and active Firebug in the new window in this case is to right click and select 'Inspect element with Firebug'.
The 'old' icon in the add-on bar was not affected by the specification list on the js open call.

Any assistance on this is appreciated. Is this a bug? Or it can be a request to support the add-on bar again.
Thank you,
Tyler

Or via pressing F12.

I'd say this is more of an enhancement request. Though I'm wondering if that can't be done through a Firefox setting, because when I add any other buttons to the add-on bar, they also don't appear when opening a popup window.

Why remove the status button? I've used it for years and now it's gone. F12 whatever, totally ruined my workflow.
Did you read Honza's blog post? The button is not completely gone:

https://blog.getfirebug.com/2011/08/03/firebug-start-button/.

If you're talking about the Firebug Start Button not appearing within popup windows, this was fixed in issue 5711 and will be released in 1.10.1 soon.
