Stop debugger on a breakpoint in code outside of function

[Новак Бошков]

Today is my first day using Firebug and I'm noticed that I can't stop debugger on a line outside of function.
There is following code:

                var oneClassContener = $(".oneClass");
                [breakpoint]for (var i=0; i<oneClassContener.length; i++){
                    if (oneClassContener[i].tagName === "IMG"){
                        document.write('<img src="' + oneClassContener[i].src.split("/")[oneClassContener[i].src.split("/").length - 1] + '"></img>' + "<br />");
                    } else {
                        document.write(oneClassContener[i].innerHTML);  
                    }
                }

And debugger just passes by the breakpoint. Code works but i want to stop execution on this line.
If I surround the code from above with a anonymous function and make a call after that, then debugger works like I expect and stops on specified line.
Like this:

                var foo = function(){
                var oneClassContener = $(".oneClass");
                [breakpoint]for (var i=0; i<oneClassContener.length; i++){
                    if (oneClassContener[i].tagName === "IMG"){
                        document.write('<img src="' + oneClassContener[i].src.split("/")[oneClassContener[i].src.split("/").length - 1] + '"></img>' + "<br />");
                    } else {
                        document.write(oneClassContener[i].innerHTML);  
                    }
                }
                foo();
                }

Have I missed some settings or is it a bug?
If there is reasonable reason for this, what is it?
Thank you.

If your code is on the global scope, i.e. not within a function, you have to reload the page to let the script execution stop at the breakpoint.
If that doesn't work, please attach a complete test case, so the problem can be reproduced.

In the past, I was never able to get a breakpoint to work outside a function no matter what I did. However, I just tried it again (using Mac FF 28 and FB 1.12.8) and it worked fine, and I didn't even have to reload the page. I have no idea what changed. Maybe it depends on what the code line is doing?

BTW... a little off-topic, but I just noticed something else. I can delete the breakpoint from the breakpoints side-panel, but if I right-click on the breakpoint indicator right in the FB code display, I can only disable it, not delete it. Seems like it would be nice to be able to delete it there too, without having to open the side-panel and hunt around for that breakpoint.

i think there is a small bug in your second code example?!

var foo = function(){
    var oneClassContener = $(".oneClass");
    [breakpoint]for (var i=0; i<oneClassContener.length; i++){
        if (oneClassContener[i].tagName === "IMG"){
            document.write('<img src="' + oneClassContener[i].src.split("/")[oneClassContener[i].src.split("/").length - 1] + '"></img>' + "<br />");
        } else {
            document.write(oneClassContener[i].innerHTML);
        }

    } // end for loop
    foo();
} // end anonymous function

so the foo(); should be outside of the function body?!
