One thing we hear a lot from Firebug users is that Firebug slows down Firefox. When Firebug is active, particularly when you’ve enabled the Console/Script panels, some pages perform much more slowly. Enabling these panels turns on all of our debugging hooks, so some slowdown isn’t surprising, but what may surprise you is that, in [...]
As of this minute, Firebug 1.5 is sitting comfortably in its third beta and available for download. This version is shaping up to be our best release yet and initial reports have been very positive regarding its stability, UI improvements and new features. So let’s take a look at some of the new features.
Improved Net [...]
I was surprised this morning when I did my update to today’s newest nightly of Namoroka and all of my extensions were disabled. I was extra-surprised when I tried enabling my extensions with Nightly Tester Tools and it didn’t work. Turns out that Mossop’s been busy implementing a patch for bug 521905.
Now for version 3.6b3 [...]
This is the second part of the Firebug Features Poll (part 1 is here). This time, focusing on the answers to the question: What is your least favorite Firebug feature. The one you never use. I don’t know if the question was worded poorly or if people just felt like venting, but many of the [...]
Last February I posted a write-up on how to automate uploads of screen captures to a web directory for sharing with others. The idea was inspired by the popular Grabup software (which Google has now added a malware warning to so I’m not linking to it). Since then OS X 10.6(.1) has been released upon [...]
Last week I did a little informal polling via Twitter and Rypple asking users what their favorite and least favorite features of Firebug were. I will be the first person to admit that this isn’t exactly rigorously scientific as we only had a limited number of respondents from a possibly limited sample space (mostly English [...]
Kevin Decker has posted a new version of the Firediff extension for Firebug which he’s calling “a major milestone”. While still not producing unified patches you can apply directly to your source code, it does create a “serialized version of the page state” you can then manually apply.
Firediff Snapshot + Diff Generation – In Case [...]
… or, which version of Firebug should I use with Firefox 3.6, aka Namoroka?
We’re in a bit of a funny place with Firebug and Firefox 3.6. The Firebug 1.5 line is currently running better on Firefox 3.7 (trunk, mozilla-central) than it is on the 1.9.2 branch (Firefox 3.6, aka Namoroka). Fallout from a couple of [...]
Yesterday afternoon I posted a somewhat cryptic tweet:
Orange ftw. Blog post to follow. http://twitpic.com/gcizx
Well, here’s the blog post.
That little orange box is the first successful run of Firebug’s FBTest test automation tool through buildbot. It’s currently posting to the MozillaTest Tinderbox.
This is phase 1. We’re currently running Firebug’s 1.5 branch out of SVN against [...]
It’s been a long haul but Firebug 1.4.0 is finally out the door.
Honza wrote a good introduction to the new activation model awhile back and you may find it useful to understand the differences between activation mechanisms in 1.3 and 1.4.
