Firebug 1.5.2 Is completely dead since upgrade
Spofer
I've just upgraded to 1.5.2 and Firebug is acting as though it is
disabled - Even if I do somehow manage to show the Firebug window, the
window is completely empty.
Am I the only one with this problem?
Thanks

Are you using en-us version of firefox?
Do you have FirePHP 0.4.3?

Firebug, and have tried reinstalling both several times. Even tried
some of the Alpha versions of Firebug and still no luck. Basically the
bug is grayed out in the status bar and nothing happens when you click
on it. If you go under Tool>Firebug nothing happens as well. Very
frustrating since I use this daily. Hope someone has a solution to
this.

WR,
We don't know what causes this effect.
Do you have up to date versions of all of your extensions?
Are you using US-english version?
Are you using Windows 2000?
Typically installing firebug in a new Firefox profile will solve these
problems. Re- or un-installing does not change the Firefox extension
configuration information.

I believe I have up to date versions for all my extensions. One
strange thing in my list of extensions is that I seem to have about 10
Java Consoles from version 6.0.03 to 6.0.18. Not sure if this is
normal or not. Seems to me there should be only one.?
I am using a US-En version.
I am using Windows XP Professional.
I will try installing firebug in a new profile and see if that works.
Thanks,
WR
Spofer
I'm using the en-US version, windows XP, with the following add-ons:
- Adblock Plus 1.1.3
- DownThemAll! 1.1.8 - Disabled
- Firebug, obviously 1.5.2
- Flashgot 1.2.1.15
- IE Tab 1.5.20090525
- Skype extension for Firefox 3.3.0.3971 - Disabled
No firePHP.
Thanks!

but uninstalling Skype does not solve it. I didn't try disabling it
though - Just uninstalled.
Also, I've disabled all add-ons - The problem still occurs.

Try installing Firebug in a new profile. As JJB stated:
"Typically installing firebug in a new Firefox profile will solve these

Use this page to remove all of the old Java Quick start extensions
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_Uninstall_Extensions
Restart firefox on a new Firefox profile and verify that no extensions
are loaded. Then install Firebug. Let us know.
Windrider
has some issue with something on my system. I will try removing the
old Java extensions and installing 1.5.2 on a clean profile.
Windrider
Dumped all addon and extensions within a new profile then installed
1.5.2 and still it would not work. Firebug was the only extension
running on the new profile. It appears to me that the issue lies
within the new version. At this point using an earlier version appears
to be working so I am content for now. At least my work flow is back
to normal again.

Ok let's fix this.
Install Firebug 1.5X.3 from http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.5X
(X is for tracing version).
Use "about:config" and add option
javascript.options.showInConsole
(eg see http://www.tearesolutions.com/2006/06/debugging-firef.html,
but do not set javascript.options.strict!)
Also add option
extensions.firebug-tracing-service.DBG_toOSConsole true
and
extensions.firebug.DBG_INITIALIZE
Open a bug report on http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/list
Then (asssuming FF 3.6) use about:support, copy to clipboard, paste
that into the bug report.
Run firefox from the OS command line with options
-console -jsconsole
Try to open Firebug.
Copy the Firefox error console and OS console content into the bug
report.
We will follow up from that point.

Tried to do as you requested this morning but could not find any
mention of "extensions.firebug-tracing-service.DBG_toOSConsole true "

First let's be sure your Error Console is working.
Open
https://getfirebug.com/tests/content/console/testErrors.html
With the Error Console open, click the "Syntax Error" button. Your
Error Console should show:
Error: missing ; before statement
Source File: https://getfirebug.com/tests/content/console/testErrors.html
Line: 1
Source Code:
2BeOrNot2Be(40)
Next let's check your installation. Use about:support URL then look in
Application Basics > Profile Directory > Open Containing Folder >
extensions subdirectory
You should have a directory
fir...@software.joehewitt.com
and no directory "staged-xpi"
In the fir...@software.joehewitt.com directory there should be a file
install.rdf and chrome.manifest.
Also verify that you have a subdirectory content/firebug with a file
"branch.properties".
Then go back the Firefox URL and use:
chrome://firebug/content/branch.properties
You should see
----
# DO NOT MERGE INTO TRUNK
RELEASE=.3
VERSION=1.5
TRUNK=
----
If that all works then the basic look up for firebug as an extension
is working.
My guess is that you don't get this far, so then you may like to
consider the voodoo you can try here:

Firebug 1.5.1 to 1.5.3. I've tried uninstalling and reinstall both
1.5.3 and 1.5.2 as well as trying to revert back to 1.5.1 but it's
all the same now. The problem does not go away.
Top menu bar: Tools > Firebug > [this submenu doesn't open at all]
Bottom icon rightclick does open the context menu but shows odd
entries like:
firebug.menu.Open All Panels
firebug.menu.Disable All Panels
firebug.menu.Clear Activation List
It will open the firebug in-page window and in a new window, but it's
all grey and not functioning.
I've done the Error Console test, and it is working (https://
getfirebug.com/tests/content/console/testErrors.html)
I've checked the installation too, and it shows the info you
specified. (chrome://firebug/content/branch.properties)
I've tried the voodoo tricks, the cancel button etc. but none of it
solved the problem. (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/347863?
s=extensions.%20logging.%20enabled&as=q)
And I've created a new profile, installed FireBug 1.5.3. But that
doesn't work either, it all stays the same.
Something got seriously messed up if even reverting back to older
versions is not working anymore. Are there any settings or files that
get left behind even after uninstalling? Perhaps we could manually
remove those and hope that installing 1.5.1 works until whatever is
causing this is fixed in a later version of FireBug.

Does it work in Firefox 3.6?

All of these symptoms point to initialization failure. The static
"XUL" code (equivalent to HTML) is loaded, but the Javascript that
translates the menu item strings, powers the menu items, and
initializes the user interface is not running.

We need to concentrate on this case. This is the case we know works
for lots and lots of people.
First I ask you to create another new profile.
Second, without installing anything, start and exit Firefox twice.
This allows Firefox to build some configuration files.
Third, open url "about:support" and verify that you have no
extensions, zero.
Fourth, install Firebug 1.6Xa7 (similar to 1.5.3 but our development
version). http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6X
Fifth, again restart Firefox twice
Sixth, again open url "about:support" and verify that you have only
Firebug installed.
Do you have the same behavior?
Now that I think about your case and Windrider's case, it sounds like
javascript is broken in your installations. But that's hard to
believe.

Yes, all settings remain after uninstalling of Firebug or Firefox or
almost any other extension. That is why reinstalling rarely fixes
anything.

new profile and restarted it twice. Checked the about:support page,
and found it had three extensions. Well, two of which are actually
plugins and disabled, but they're still listed under "Extensions" on
the about:support page:
Name Version Enabled ID
Java Console 6.0.14 true {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0014-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
Google Earth Plugin 4.3.9543.7852 false
{49D7314F-25B5-4555-88F5-622FD3FC3D91}
Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.0 false {20a82645-
c095-46ed-80e3-08825760534b}
I then uninstalled the Java Console, the other two are disabled and
"not compatible with Firefox 3.6" but for some unknown reason the
uninstall button is disabled. So I restarted twice, and installed
Firebug 1.6Xa7, then restarted FireFox twice again. But it still has
the exact same problems.
I went to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ and uninstalled
the old java plugin and installed the new version, because the java
console option in the tools menu of FireFox didn't start anything
before. I know javascript != Java, but maybe the problem is related, I
don't know. Now with the new version it still doesn't start the java
console, I'm assuming it should open a console window..? Or at least
some kind of notification I tried to start the java console.
If javascript is somehow broken, wouldn't that mean other add-on's
should have the same weird problems? Because besides this 'java
console' not starting and the firebug problems, everything else is
working just fine.
Perhaps my FireFox install is just too messed up, can't even remember
when I did the original fresh install. I'm close to just uninstalling
FireFox and start from scratch, maybe saving parts of my profile,
bookmarks and passwords etc. Unless you know of anything else to test
or check... if it will help in identifying a problem or bug that can
be fixed, I'll try it out.

I agree that this does not make sense. But your problem does not make
sense either.
If we can't get any Firebug JS to run, we can't diagnose the problem
with our tools.
Here is another suggestion if you want to go all out:
1) new profile,
2) install Firebug 1.6a7, http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6X
3) install Chromebug 1.6a7, http://getfirebug.com/releases/chromebug
4) start firefox on the command line with
-p <yourNewProfileName> -jsconsole -chromebug
Look at the Error Console.
This uses some of the same code as Firebug start up but in a different
way, maybe we can shake something out.

If you know how, I'd suggest installing a new copy of Firefox in your
own directory. This separates the problems: the new copy will use the
same profile as the original.

Firefox with that command line. The error console pops up first, with
the following error:

I'm guessing that's just a Chromebug warning or notice... Anyway, then
a mostly non-functional Chromebug window pops up with the browser

screen). If I start using the various buttons the error console fills
up with a lot of errors. Usually either a "context is null" or a
"FBTrace is not a function" error. All of the errors point to these
lines, but I'm guessing that's just because of the errorHooks. Either
way, it's mostly "Firebug.Platform is undefined" or "Firebug.Debugger
is undefined". Seems like it all should run if only those core things
weren't undefined or null, if that makes any sense at all...

directory, and now everything works as it should in all profiles. So
it actually has something to do in the Firefox install, not the
profile. I uninstalled it again, renamed the original "bugged" firefox
dir to something else, and installed 3.6 again in the regular C:
\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ directory, copied all the files over
from the old plugin directory, just to see if it's one of those
plugin .dll's that was causing this. But no, it all still works.
I've kept the old 'bugged' install, just in case you want to try and
find what exactly caused this after those error console logs in my
previous msg.

Yes, please zip it and attach it to a bug report:

I had archived it in two parts to keep it under the 10MB limit, but I
couldn't attach the files. Also tried to add them in a comment but I
keep getting the same Bad Request error. Seems like it logs me out of
my google account before the upload can complete (gmail manager
maybe?). So I've added a rapidshare link to the bug report instead.
hm, now this form tells me my session has expired as well. :/

here on Firefox 3.6 with Firebug 1.5.2 and higher (including 1.6a7).
Firebug is greyed out. I created a new profile, but it is still greyed
out. Firebug 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 work, but I can't use them because of the
memory leak. One thing that I don't think I've seen mentioned, yet, is
that when I right click Firebug, the menu shows
Open Firebug in New Window
----
Clear Console
----
firebug.menu.Enable All Panels
firebug.menu.Disable All Panels
----
On for all web pages
----
fire.bug.menu.Clear Activation List
Firebug is partially working, but the menu seems to indicate that
something is not getting interpreted correctly, or there is an error
during setup that prevents the generation of the menus and such. If I
go to Tools->Firebug, the submenu does not appear. I use a second
computer that I think is set up exactly the same way, and Firebug
works on it. I hope provides a few more helpful details.

Thanks! I already made some progress. At R6363 I changed the way
firebug reports disaster errors on initialization to be more likely
that we get the error message.
The problem in your case is related to failure of
CCSV @mozilla.org/inspector/dom-utils;1 iface inIDOMUtils
I don't know why this service fails however.

Ok I have tracked down the problem in Mav's case: three old files in
Mozilla Firefox/components directory called
inspector.dll
inspector.xpt
inspector-cmdLine.js
If these are deleted, Firebug will work.

I've just upgraded some versions and the following happened:
- Upgraded to Firefox 3.6 still using the Firebug 1.5.2 - And Firebug
was back! Working normally from my dull testing.
- Then I've upgraded to Firebug 1.5.3 + Java console 6.0.02.03 -
Firebug died again.
- Renamed the inspector files - And now Firebug is working perfectly!
I don't know what are these files, or what did I just do - But it
works! They are old though - Dated to 2005 in my installation.
Anyway - Back to normal! Thanks a lot John & Testers!!

mistaken those inspector files were from the DOM inspector that came
as an option with older versions of Firefox? I noticed from the
logfiles I installed my "bugged" Firefox in 2008 with version 1.9.2.
Was about time for a fresh install anyway hehe.

If you can get the user's last-update.log it will show whether or not
the update found / failed to remove these files. The last-update.log
is in the users profile in the local appdata directory (e.g.
%LOCALAPPDATA% on Vista and above) under Mozilla\Firefox\<install
directory name which is typically 'Mozilla Firefox'>\updates
If you can post this file to the bug I will forward it.

in
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox -
Somewhere over here?
Well I don't have that file over there - Only 3 .log files in the
whole \Mozilla directory:
- Submit.log
- extensions.log
- flashgot.log
In the installation directory (Program Files) I have 3 more files:
- Daemon.log
- install.log - This file might be interesting... Should I upload it?
- uninstall.log
Did I look in the wrong path?
Thanks

Mav
C:\Documents and Settings\Mav\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\
C:\Documents and Settings\Mav\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\
but found no update directory in there, nor the last-update.log file.
I also did a search for the file but the only last-update.log it found was from Thunderbird. So I'm pretty sure it's just not there at all. Would the fresh 3.6 install remove this file? Unfortunately I don't have an old back-up of the "Local Settings" directories, i usually skip them and only back-up some of the "Aplication Data" directories.
@spofer, it's not in the program files directory. I think it should actually be in this directory, if it's exactly the same as were Thunderbird stores the file:
C:\Documents and Settings\ <windowsusername> \Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\updates\last-update.log

the reason you had the bogus inspector.dll ... the some update failed
before completing these steps?

updates failures lately...
Mav
Can't remember what fixed it, I think it was an extension that caused it.
I saved the profile back then so it's even older than I thought. Now that I found the bug report, I see that it's from 2008 with FF 3.0, but some files in my profile show it installed 1.9.2. Which was probably somewhere in 2005, as the oldest files in the profile directory are also from 2005. So pretty much the same old age as with Spofer's install, seems like it happens only on these old installs that get updated over time. If the files should have been deleted with an update, then it obviously failed.
I'm wondering when the usage of this last-update.log file was added to Firefox, if it didn't use the file in old installs maybe it just didn't create one either after the update when Firefox started using this logfile. Maybe I'm thinking too much in PHP style programming though, where you can't write to a file that doesn't exist. If you don't check and create it first, it'll just throw an error.

I found these files on my computer and with high hopes, I quit
Firefox, removed the files and started Firefox. Firebug was still
dead. On a whim, I reinstalled Firefox, and Firebug works! Maybe
something needed to be unregistered or reinitialized. Thank you for
the solution.

Yes, sorry you have to force Firefox to rebuild its registry tables.
Reinstalling an extension, for example.

who has this problem.
Please check:
If you can get the user's last-update.log it will show whether or not
the update found / failed to remove these files. The last-update.log
is in the users profile in the local appdata directory (e.g.
%LOCALAPPDATA% on Vista and above) under Mozilla\Firefox\<install

Two users, Mav and Spofer, have already reported that they don't find
these files. It would even help if you try to find them and don't.

I searched my entire C: drive for last-update.log, and it was not
found. This is with Firefox 3.6.
