Hi,
I recently experienced the obstinate 'ob.toString' error while parsing
dynamically-generated external xhtml11 pages into Firebug 3.0.1 using
mootools on Vista..
One page loaded perfectly - but it's almost-identical twin, although
loading fully, produced the error.
Pasting the entire 'bad' page code into the 'good' page, and
commenting it all out STILL produced the error..
..and eventually removing the last fragment below removed the bug...
<!--head>
<link title="style" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"
media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="some.js" charset="utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="another.js" charset="utf-8"></
script>
<title>etc</title>
</head-->
..and replacing the missing '</script>' tag also solved the problem
EVEN THOUGH THE CODE IS COMMENTED OUT! Deeply weird...
