I don't use debuggers much, but usually things seem to work ok for me, in both firefox and chrome. Perhaps your codebase is very large and it hits some limit in firefox? Also, which version of firefox are you on? Recent versions have improved a lot in the devtools area. I am on nightly over here.
Using source maps should work automatically. In both cases, these sounds like bugs in the firefox debugger. I understand that filing a bug on your codebase might not be simple, but perhaps you can make a separate testcase somehow? - Alon On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 12:14 AM, Mark Callow <[email protected]> wrote: > It is still impossible to debug my Emscripten code in Firefox.
