Hi,

I just installed FB 1.3.0a4 under the latest nightly build of
minefield (3.1b2pre 20081008) and encountered some weirdness when I
first start minefield. When I do the FB icon is grayed out. You can
see the right-click context menu but clicking on the icon does not
open the FB console and nothing is logged to the Javascript console to
indicate the problem.

I tried lots of restarts, disabling modules and removing the XPC.mfl
and XUL.mfl cache files, but nothing changed it and I generally wasted
lots of time and along the way discovered that if you choose suspend
FB and re-enable FB from the context menu you finally get an error:

Error: context is null
Source File: chrome://firebug/content/errors.js
Line: 54

Error: FirebugContext is null
Source File: chrome://firebug/content/firebug.js
Line: 284

I have my browser set to "Show a blank page" when minefield starts. It
doesn't display the URL as "about:blank" but I believe that that is
the URL used. I have FB set to display on system pages, but it doesn't
appear to treat the blank URL as a system page. And, from what I can
tell, because of that hadn't started fully so the suspending/
reenabling generated these errors.

It turns out that this is merely a minor technicality because you can
"fix" the problem by going to any page that has a URL, including
system pages like "about:". I think it must be the lack of URL on
"about:blank" that is causing the problem.

Also I was getting CSS warnings from the following files about syntax
that Minefield doesn't support any more.

skin/classic/win/firebug.css
skin/classic/console.css
skin/classic/css.css
skin/classic/layout.css

It doesn't like the CSS

 white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;
 -moz-opacity:

Fixable by changing -moz-pre-wrap => pre-wrap and -moz-opacity =>
opacity

:%s/-moz-pre-wrap/pre-wrap/ge|:%s/-moz-opacity/opacity/ge

Though I think this may not be compatible with FF2 (?)

Otherwise it works well so far. Thanks for the hard work :-)

Col.
