Please try Firebug 1.5b5, http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.5X.
If you still have a problem, post a complete test case to
http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/list and I'll fix it.

Re: Begginner Problem

Okay then, let's be a little more thorough:
1. Uninstall Firefox
2. Go to %AppData%\Roaming\Mozilla
3. Erase the Firefox folder
4. Download the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/upgrade.html
5. Disable your antivirus and firewall (they often cause issues when
installing extensions)
6. Install the latest Firefox
7. Open Firefox
8. Left click on this link and choose install:
http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.5X/firebug-1.5X.0b5.xpi (if
you get a warning that a site is trying to install something just
allow it)
9. After the installation restart Firefox

On any page the Firefox icon should be there in grey. Left click the
icon and Firebug should open.

Let us know if this works for you.

Re: Begginner Problem

Hi,
I did as you said. I got into the command prompt and inside of the
mozilla firefox folder I created a new profile.
I started firefox and dragged and dropped the latest and greatest
firebug 1.55b5 onto the browser screen.
It was installed and asked me to restart. I restarted the browser and
voila! nothing. No bug appears in the lower
right of the screen. How do I get my firebug.

Thanks.
John

Adding function causes Javascript debugger to stop working

2009-12-04T23:49:43Z

I got the latest version of Firebug and installed in on Firefox 3.5.5
browser.

I have a Javascript file which shows up as an enabled script so long
as I don't have the following function in the script file.

function onChangeUnitsOfLength() {
var hUnits = getElementsById("hUnits");
var m = getElementById("m");
var in = getElementById("in");
var ft = getElementById("ft");

switch(hUnits.value) {
case 0:
m.style.zIndex= "-1";
in.style.zIndex="0";
ft.style.display="inline";
break;
case 1:
m.style.zIndex="-1";
ft.style.display="none";
in.style.zIndex="0";
break;
case 2:
m.style.zIndex="0";
ft.style.display="none";
in.style.zIndex="-1";
break;
default:
};
};

When I add this function to the file, my file no longer shows in the
drop down menu and there is no code where I can set breakpoints. I
don't think an error in the code should break the debugger but it
does. It would be nice if there were some way to spot errors in the
code before you try to evaluate it.

It's actually 6, don't know why I thought it was just 2, but the

Re: Adding new option to HTML panel right-click menu

2009-12-04T19:29:43Z

Hi John,

Here's what I'm trying to do. I've been working with JsonML a lot
recently (see http://jsonml.org/) and would like a quick and simple
way to convert a node and all child nodes into a properly formatted
jsonML object. When right-clicking on a node within the Firebug HTML
panel it already provides a number of similar options ("Copy HTML",
"Copy innerHTML", "Copy xPath"), so it seems only logical to add my
new "Copy jsonML" option to that location. There are, of course, other
ways to do it, but in terms of usability it seems like that's the best
spot for it.

Thanks again for your help.

- Ben

In console, only show when Response = nonzero

2009-12-04T18:22:24Z

So I'm running an auto-refresh function on a page that mostly return 0
(shown under Response tab in the Console). I'd like to set it so that
those returns (zero) are ignored by Firebug so that it's easier for me
to manage the actual responeses.

Can this be done by using the command line, and if so what would the
command be?

You can use the html panel's getObjectPath() function. There are also
some XPATH function in lib.js.

In general this is an unsolved problem, since the DOM can change
arbitrarily as soon as you release control of execution.

It depends on how your extension relates to the rest of Firebug. We
don't have a lot of experience with extensions that don't add panels.
So if you say some more about what you have in mind I'll make
something up...

Re: Adding new option to HTML panel right-click menu

2009-12-04T15:05:13Z

Hi John,

Thanks for the tip! I looked over the code and I think I can get the
general sense of what it's doing and how the menu items are being
added, but can't reproduce the functionality within my own extension.
Presumably, the onContextShowing() method is called every time a user
right clicks on a node, so that it shows the appropriate options for
the selected node (correct?), so my hunch is that even though my
extension is adding the new menu item when it first loads, it's just
overwritten when the user right-clicks on the node. At least, this is
my best guess...

So do I need to wrap that existing function within my own function? Or
override the entire function itself? If so, how?

Sorry for the 20 questions. It's rather tricky getting a foothold on
this stuff!

Browsers have a limit to concurrent requests to the same domains, so
If you have multiple requests to the same site they're processed un
groups. Firefox's limit is 2 connections at the same time, so if you
request 7 files in the same domain the first 2 will be processed right
away while the remaining 5 will be queued. Once one of the current
requests ends, the next one in the queue is processed and so on. The
"queuing" time is the time a requests waited in the queue before
starting.

Re: Use firebug Inspect element from a different FF add-on

2009-12-04T14:32:35Z

Hi John,
thanks to you I've managed to create a Firebug extension that turn on
the inspector. :)

maybe I'm not using the correct terminology but ...
I'm looking for a way to save the HTML object location (which the user
pressed on during the inspection)
so i can locate it in the future (something like recording the user
clicks....)

is it possible?
thanks ALOT!!

Question in Firebug: Net panel

2009-12-04T13:28:47Z

Hi,

Could someone here explain what “connecting” and “queueing” time
measurements as indicated on Firebug’s net panel mean? Been googling
for that, but didn’t come across a clear definition.

From what I understand, "waiting for response" is the time from
sending the HTTP request to receiving the first byte of response.
"Receiving data" is the total time taken for all subsequent bytes of
response to reach the client. Pls correct me if I got it wrong.

TIA!

Re: firefox 3.5.5 and firebug 1.4.5

2009-12-04T09:22:03Z

Thanks, John. Before I saw your reply, I was able to fix this and get
FireBug working within Firefox 3.5.5.

First, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF 3.5.5 with no luck in
fixing the issue. A colleague said his version of FF 3.5.1 worked with
FB, so I uninstalled 3.5.5 and FB and installed FF 3.5.1. Then I
reinstalled FB, but still had the same issues. I then reinstalled FF
3.5.5 on top of 3.5.1.

I then uninstalled all 18 of the plugins I was using. I then rebooted
and reinstalled FireBug, which then worked. I then proceeded to
install all but one of the plugins carefully, one at a time and
testing FB after each installation to see if I could ID the
conflicting add-on. I never found the offending add-on, but I did
learn that 2 of the add-ons were not worth re-installing, so I didn't
bother. I suspect one of them was the issue.

I hope this helps someone else that runs into this same issue.

Yes, have a look at chrome.js onContextShowing. There are several ways
to add items.

I thought a CSS Selector was a rule for finding elements, a query that
can match many elements. I did not know that elements have a CSS
selector.

In any case, Firebug's inspector gives the element itself. No path or
selector is involved.

Well if you start unzipping the .xpi, you're on your own. That's not

I may be wrong, but I think Firebug works wich XPath instead of CSS Selectors.

Re: Begginner Problem

Ok. I found a copy of 7zip the archiving utility to extract the .xpi
files.
I extracted them to what i though was a new folder called firebug
inside the
Mozilla Firefox folder. The files seem to be there according to 7zip.
But when i go to
look at them in Windows Vista explorer there is no folder or files
there. I go back into 7zip
to see if I am hallucinating and 7zip says they are there. I don't
know what to do about
this.

I did not even consider using contenteditable, even though I have used
it a lot. It would be a very simple task to add a 'Live Edit' button
that toggles this option. It could live next to the current 'Edit'
button on the fb toolbar ... the power of that feature in combination
with FireDiff would be amazing.

I never even considered using contenteditable even though I have
worked with it a lot ... that would actually be very cool and simple
to implement. It would be very, very simple to add a "Live Edit"
button next to our current 'Edit' button on the fbug toolbar to toggle
this option on and off. The power of live edit in combination with
FireDiff would be amazing.

Re: Use firebug Inspect element from a different FF add-on

2009-12-04T00:28:10Z

i meant CSS Selector (the path to the html element that the user
clicked on)
is there a way to catch the click and the CSS Selector?

i've considered creating a firebug extension but i want to create my
own menu (without firebug's menu)....

Well, try adding this attribute to the body element on a page:

contenteditable="true"

like this:

<body contenteditable="true">
...

Make a div's position absolute and then drag and drop it with the
little four-arrow thing.

Have fun!

Re: Debugging JS with firebug lite on IE9

You can also use Fiddler2 to inspect traffic for both Firefox and IE.

Maybe is a little bit too late for saying this but you can change the
amount of pixels on a certain CSS rule with the keyboard arrows up and
down. Although havind the option to do it with the mouse wheel is not
bat at all ;)

Adding new option to HTML panel right-click menu

2009-12-03T19:00:03Z

Hey folks,

A question for somebody. I'm trying to write a simple Firebug plugin
that adds a new item to the menu that shows up when you right-click on
the HTML panel on a node. I've been poring over some tutorials and the
code on Google Code but haven't found out much.

I found this rather encouraging section - the getContextMenuItems
function - but wasn't sure how to implement it within my own
extension.
http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#FXMmmf0ln7k/content/firebug/html.js&q=getContextMenuItems%20package:http://fbug\.googlecode\.com&sa=N&cd=1&ct=rc&l=851

Any tips...?

Thanks!

- Ben
