I've just started using FF3 and Firebug 1.2 Win XP and have been
looking around to find out if it's only me. Apparently not. I'm a bit
worried because Firebug is a critical tool for my productivity and I
am finding script debugging is in trouble.

Specifics:
- Breakpoints sometimes automatically disable on page refresh: this
makes them unusable because page won't break.
- Single step sometimes appears to REPEAT on the same line!! No
debugging going on here.
- Single step sometimes just warps out of debugging mode to who knows
where? Can't debug.
- Breakpoints drop in on a blank screen or go to start of script so
you can't track steps. Sometimes a page refresh enables Firebug to
find it's place in the script the second time round, like it needs to
refresh some initialisation data.

I was wondering if it was my JavaScript or a Firebug problem and was
scanning to find other reports before spending the time on pinning
down a test case. My script is very small but a bit complex - uses
XMLHttpRequest and some OO work to manage node creation and event
handling. Oh, but the page has some large arrays on it too...

I already tried a new profile with absolutely no improvement. I am
considering going back to FF2 until the new Firebug matures on FF3 or
my code improves. Are we really the only two people who have got this?
(Note to Google: Firebug problems in Firefox 3.)

Thanks for all your sterling work. Magnificent plugin. AnilG.
