Copy Bookmarklet

I found a cool little feature this morning while poking around in Firebug’s command line code. If you expand the Console’s command line to the large area (using the little up arrow on the right of the command line), you can enter a block of text, nicely formatted. This is probably not news to anyone. [...]


The Road to Firebug 1.4

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.

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. If you’re a web developer, a browser power user or just bored and looking for a place to hang out on a Friday (between 8am and 4pm PST), grab the latest version at http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.4. (currently 1.4a25)
Our goal is to [...]


Firebug 1.4a20. The Homestretch.

John B. uploaded Firebug 1.4a20 (xpi link, will ask to install in Firefox) to getfirebug.com/…/releases yesterday and I’ve been playing around with it today to see what was what. So far, it looks good. A couple of minor outlying things are still outstanding. Open in New Window from the status icon isn’t working yet — [...]


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 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 [...]
