I got a new machine here at work and put a fresh Firefox 3.5.2 on it
along with Firebug 1.5X.0a20 and on a page that has jQuery 1.3.1 on
it, I cannot see any XHR activity even though I know it is taking
place (after it completes it adds/removes an html block and the block
is correctly being added/removed).

I made sure that Show XHR option was selected in the HTML menu, but
still nothing shows. Is there any way I can troubleshoot this further?
It happens every time...

Also, dunno if this has any effect, but the site I'm testing on is on
localhost. XHR WAS showing properly when I was using 1.4.2.

Of course, the best would be if your page is online so, I can also try
to reproduce that.

Otherwise, open Firebug Tracing and set NET & ERRORS options,
perhaps you can discover some problems.

Are the XHR requests displayed in the Net panel?

Yes, they are.

How do I get to the tracing? I have it set to open but it doesn't seem
to do anything...

Ah, try to set SPY option yet (within the Options tab on the Tracing
Console).

I just emailed you directly with an exported trace. This is with
ERRORS, NET, and SPY all enabled on the tracing console.

There is following error in your log:

[DBG_ERRORS] httpObserver.observe EXCEPTION '[JavaScript Error:
"FBTrace is not defined" {file: "chrome://firebug/content/spy.js"
line: 71}]

The problem seems to be related to
http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=1993

Could you please retest with 1.5a13?
(either it's a regression or a new test case)

I still can't reproduce the problem.
Can you try my XHR online test case here, whether it works for you?

If you can create simple test case that I can use to reproduce the
problem, I'll fix ti.

Ever since I downgraded to a13 and then upgraded back to a20 it has
worked. I'm going to try in a new profile installing a20 directly and
see if it still works.

It worked in a clean profile, too.... :/ So I have no idea what was
going on.
