Andrew, did you know that you can filter the list by typing characters into the search box? With the menu up, start typing. The list will be filtered and the characters you type will be in the search box.
Filter only works on the file name, not the path. For very long file names, the list may obscure the search box. Eventually we may have a menu with parts closed and manually opened as you suggest. jjb On Sep 25, 5:11 am, Andrew Powell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not to bombard the group with new posts, I just have some issues which > I have neglected to post over the last few months :) > > In previous (prior to 1.2.0) version of Firebug, you were able to > select a script by clicking an element near the 'Script' tab in the > Firebug UI.
