Hey Robert,
Yep, I have a boatload of other firebug extensions installed including
firequery, firecookie, firediff, eventbug... None of those seems to
cause the problem. When I disable/uninstall firefinder, firebug opens
no problem with all those other ones enabled. And the reverse is also
true. When i disable all of them and try to open firebug, it still
won't open if firefinder is enabled.
Hmm, I'd be surprised if there's anything OS specific about this
problem. Like you said, firefinder is basically following firebug's
tab populating conventions and not really doing anything that outside
that narrow box. So guess that leaves us with the firefox version or
something in firebug.
interestingly, when i installed firebug 1.6 branch it DID open while
firefinder was enabled, but firefinder did not show up on the tabs.
I tried a few other firefox binaries i had lying around (from
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ ), like 3.5.4, 3.5.6,
3.5.9, and 3.7, and firebug refuses to open when firefinder is
installed.
Is there any sort of logging that firefox/firebug can offer to
diagnose errors silently happening?
