FF3.5 feat. Firebug 1.4.0b4

[nctag]

Hi out there

I've updated FF to version 3.5 a week ago. Since then I updated to the new Firebug version 1.4.0b4 because the other version was FF3.0 only. Since then I often get no error in console but the script stops working.

For example you have a typical 'variable xy is not defined' error in your script Firebug doesn't show any errors but the script (logic) stops executing.

Does anybody have the same troubles?

I'm on b5 which works pretty well.

no issues with B4.

No issues?

Try typing 'new Date' in the console.

FB 1.4 is pure crap.

try typing this in the console on an empty HTML page:


new Date(); // returns undefined


or this


a = {b:1}; // returns undefined
a; // returns undefined


i had to upgrade to 1.5X.0a07 just to get normal behaviour back.
when i reported the issue in FB1.4 over at the Firebug googlegroup (http://groups.google.com/group/firebug/browse_thread/thread/2abf149fe765adef), @johnjbarton replied that he got a proper date from FB 1.5+, with no mention of FB1.4. /:)

[edit]
to be fair, i'm quite happy with FB1.3.3 on Firefox 3.0.x, which i've got running on a separate profile.

Shouldn't you be using the Firebug issue tracker (http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/list) for reporting a bug?

ps. It's already reported here (http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=1963).

Actually I see the problem you described now. The error in only shown in FB if you have the console open as the error happens. Pretty damn annoying... :(

i did, although the bug report falls under a separate report / another category:

I should have said "Not that issue".

First of all, thx for you answers and inputs.

I'm now testing 1.5X. I hope this version works for me now. I'll report any troubles if there will come some. We won't hope that.

For all those who are searching for 1.5X (I was for a while too) here the direct link: http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.5X/

OK, besides "that issue", I do have a lot of browser crashes since I installed FF 3.5.

Don't know if this is related to Firebug, but just in case I upgraded to FB 1.5Xa8. Now I'm waiting for the next crash...

Condor I also can report several crashes with FF3.5, FB1.4X and Windows 7. I also don't know whether it's FB or FF...

fixed your errors

[steffenk]

@Condor - i even have many crashes on FF 3.0.11 and FB1.3.3 on Win Vista.
Never had them before (<3.0.5), but don't know if it's related to FB, FF or Windows. It's just annoying...
