A couple of weeks ago I came across a reference to Mac Optimized Builds of Firefox. There’s a long tradition of community-based builds of Firefox for the Mac dating back to the PowerPC days.
A lot’s changed since those dark days, however. To say that we spend a lot of energy doing performance analysis is a [...]
I saw a tweet this morning from Joe Walker linking to this article asking Is View-Source Good? from Alex Russell of Dojo fame and I had to write about it. It’s something I’ve been thinking about a fair bit lately, so his timing was excellent.
Open systems are better and lead to more productive coders. This [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
… 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 [...]
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 [...]
I noticed a funny problem with Firebug 1.4a10 and Firefox 3.1b2 yesterday which I’ve since seen reported and verified by other users. John Barton confirmed it in his build but says that the trace-enabled version of 1.4a10X works properly. You can get it here: getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.4X.
If you’d rather stick with the non-debug version for performance reasons [...]
I’ve been getting asked about this more and more recently, so I thought I should write something in an attempt to allay the confusion around this. Let me say this first:
Firebug 1.2.1 is not compatible with Firefox 3.1.
That bothers me, but not half-as-much as it probably bothers you, the person trying to debug some web [...]
I’m going to take a break from talking about Firebug (which is awesome) this afternoon to relay an interesting experience I had. Something a little out-of-the-ordinary that was kind of fun and can hopefully be useful to others should they find themselves in the same situation.
It’s Friday afternoon and I’m sitting at my desk, a [...]
This weekend I took a bit of time out of my busy schedule of barbecuing and hiking among the rocks to write a little extension. A visiting friend asked if there was an easy way to get a list of the currently open tabs to enter in a wiki page. I tried various “bookmark all [...]
