I am running Firefox 5 on OSX 10.6.8 and have noted the latest requirement for firephp 0.6 and 1.8 - all are installed. However, I'm still not getting firephp messages logged to the console.

I can see wildfire etc in the response headers and I can log the same php value to a log file.  Its a Symfony2 php application and the Symfony2 team assure me everything is working correctly at their end (other users are reporting that it works too). They directed me here. Anyone got any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

I just tested that exact combination again and it is working for me. I
presume you have the Firebug Console and Net panels enabled and Firebug
open.

Please try with a fresh Firefox profile:

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -no-remote -P
test-firephp

If that works you can switch to the new profile or troubleshoot your old
profile some more. Maybe there is an extension conflict now?

If the headers are getting to the client the problem is not on the server.

Thanks. I also tried the firephp extension for chrome and I'm not seeing the logs there either.

So this is weird. I created a new FF profile and added Firebug and Firephp (same versions). I could not get the extensions to show up at all (did restore default set through toolbar customise etc). I then switched back to my original profile and Firephp is suddenly working again.

I'm not sure if it is relevant but I also noticed in my test profile that Cmd+N was not creating new windows. Actually it was creating blank entries in the Window menu so it was doing something but no new windows appeared.

The 0.6 release from mozilla add-ons was broken:

That could explain what was/is going on.

So it's all working for you now?

It worked for a while but stopped working again without me having changed anything. I tried updating to Firephp 0.6.1 and it still didn't work so I have reverted to firebug 1.7.3 for now (everything working)

The same here with Firefox 6.0.1, FireBug 1.8.2 and FirePHP 0.6.2. Got
back to Firefox 4.0.1, Firebug 1.7.3, FirePHP 0.5.0 which works.

You can try installing the FirePHP Extension into a fresh firefox profile. This typically fixes the problem.
