Firebug 1.4.0b1 Limited Release on AMO

Today we’ve pushed Firebug 1.4.0b1 (same as 1.4.0a31) to addons.mozilla.org. Currently, we’ve only turned it on for users of 3.5b4 and later, but this version is fully-compatible with Firefox 3.0 as well. Users of Firefox 3.0 who want to try out Firebug 1.4 should download it from getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.4 or disable version checking on AMO. When [...]


Firebug Testday Results

Thanks to everybody who showed up last Friday and ran some Firebug tests for us. It was a decent turn-out and you helped us catch some bugs.
Over the course of the day, we filed around 16 bugs, 1 of which was deemed invalid (Other Component, Weave), and 8 of those remaining were fixed since then.But [...]

Firebug Testday, Friday, May 8th, 2009

Join us in #testday on irc.mozilla.org and help test out the latest version of Firebug 1.4.

(currently 1.4a25)
Our goal is to [...]


FireDiff extension for Firebug

Kevin Decker’s FireDiff extension for Firebug is 0.1 old! It’s still new, but could be the beginning of a one-stop-shop for getting diffs for changes to locally-modified DOM and CSS from Firebug.
You can grab it from the above link or browse the source code in Firebug’s svn repository. You will need Firebug 1.4a17 or higher.


Tabs on Top

Curtis Bartley landed his “Tabs on Top” patch last week and John Barton pushed out a new alpha version, number 1.4a17. You can get it in the usual places on getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.4. The debug version is next door.
We think this makes more sense. Tabs are top-level objects and the toolbars change depending on which tab you [...]


Firebug and 3.5 compatibility

Awhile back I stated that Firebug 1.4 was compatible with Firefox 3.1b2 (soon to be rebadged as 3.5). At the time, this was a true statement, though the version we had available, a12, wasn’t really ready for prime-time. I said we’d be ready for February back in January thinking we would have a version ready [...]


Firebug 1.3.4b1

Late last week, a number of users reported some strange behavior with Firebug 1.3.3 and Firefox 3.0.7. Pages with lots of JavaScript files being imported through XmlHttpRequests were freezing with Firebug installed and activated. For those interested in the discovery process, you can view the discussion page on the Firebug discussion group. We filed Issue [...]


Firebug UI Changes and a new Beta

In case you missed it, we’re asking Firebug users to take a look at Curtis Bartley’s blog post:
Improving the Firebug UI – Curtis Bartley’s Blog
He’s got a patch to reorder the tab strip and toolbars that we think makes more sense. So take a look, try it out, and post to the thread in Firebug [...]


Why is this thing on?

This is an all-too-frequent question many Firebug users have. It can be frustrating to look down in the corner and see an orange bug and not know how it got there. Now that the initial giddiness of releasing Firebug 1.3.0 has worn off and we’ve stood back and taken stock, there are a couple of [...]
