Firebug

I wanted to learn more about jetpack so (duh) I tried to debug a jetpack.  In case you’ve not heard,  jetpack is a Mozilla labs project to support easy, rapid development of Firefox addons using Javascript operating in an HTML rather than XUL world. You should try the tutorial, it really is easy and rapid! Well, [...]

Following a long discussion about Firefox Themes vs the new Persona technology, Mike Connor from the Firefox team explains on his blog why Firefox plans to migrate developers from the current theme and extension systems to personas and jetpacks.  Since we are a Firefox extension, you might wonder How will this affect Firebug? I don’t think [...]

getfirebug.com has Firebug 1.5X.0b9 and the equivalent version without tracing, Firebug 1.5.0b9. In addition to the bugs fixed and released with Firebug 1.6a2, we have a few more fixes since then. Please try this version. Unless we hear about serious ... [More] bugs, we will create the release documentation and then 1.5 will be done. Users of Firebug 1.5X will [...] [Less]

getfirebug.com has Firebug 1.6a2. This release is very similar to what will be in 1.5b9, but we want to double check our work for that release as it will be close to the end for 1.5. On Firefox 3.6 we fail 6 tests, none are point to real Firebug problems. Three fail because of Firefox bug [...]

getfirebug.com has Firebug 1.6a1, the first release of our new branch, fbug/branches/firebug1.6. No new features yet, this is just our starting point and our way of checking patches that will be ported to Firebug 1.5. (BTW Firebug 1.5b9 should be out soon, and we expect it to be the last beta). Firebug 1.6 will support Firefox [...]

getfirebug.com has Firebug 1.5X.0b8 New in this release: A few weeks ago we added support to freeze the Javascript and event handlers on a Web page when you halt in the debugger (eg on a breakpoint). You probably thought that already happened, it should have. This release fixes a bug in that freeze/thaw logic for reloading while [...]

getfirebug.com has Firebug 1.5X.0b7.  We plan to release 1.5.0 in the first week of 2010. Happy New Year! Test results: On Firefox 3.5.6, one test fails, Issue 2271, because we use a feature only available in Firefox 3.6. On Firefox 3.6b6pre, one test fails, because of Bug 468506 a Firefox bug that is blocking the release of Firefox [...]

getfirebug.com has Firebug 1.5X.0b6. All our tests pass on Firefox 3.5. One test fails on Firefox 3.6, but it passes on Firefox 3.7: we are just waiting for the fix to bug 468506 to be applied to Firefox 3.6. Our last work item for Firebug 1.5 is to discuss and probably fix this issues on the [...]

Ok maybe you are up on your HTML more than I am, but I was surprised that an tag around an image does not have a CSS box around the image.  This came up in  issue 2534.  The reporter had an example like the one below, with an tag around an image: If you [...]

getfirebug.com has Firebug 1.5X.0b5. We are just fixing bugs now, and filing off the rougher edges of our new features. All tests pass on Firefox 3.5.5. One test fails on Firefox 3.6, due to bugzilla bug 486506. Two tests fail on Firefox 3.7, the same 486506 bug and one where we need to change the [...]
