> Am I just crazy or is this how it is supposed to work now? The new activation model should be pretty simple to use, yet the implementation might still be a little buggy.
The idea behind this activation model is the following: 1) You can have firebug opened attached to the window *OR* detached from it. 2) You can have only one firebug window detached *per* Firefox window. That means, if you want to have two different firebug windows opened at the same time, you should open two Firefox windows as well. 3) No matter how you opened Firebug, the User Interface should reflect the status of firebug in the tab you have focus. This leads to some sub-items: 3.1) You opened firebug attached to the window in "Tab A" where firebug is enabled, and then switched to other "Tab B". 3.1.1) If firebug is not enabled in "Tab B", the UI shouldn't show up. 3.1.2) If firebug is enabled in "Tab B", you should see the UI reflecting the status of firebug in "Tab B". 3.2) You opened firebug detached from the window. The behavior of firebug should be the same as in 3.1, just that all the action happens in the detached firebug window. 4) When you change from "Tab A" to "Tab B" in the browser, firebug keeps running in "Tab A" but in background, while the UI reflects the status of firebug in "Tab B". When you switch back from "Tab B" to "Tab A", the running instance of firebug which was in the background is restored, and the one from "Tab B" is the one that now goes to the background. This means that if you left firebug in one tab doing some AJAX, when you switch back to that tab, the console or Net panel should list the full log of the transfers, just like if you hadn't switched from that tab at all. But that's an ideal activation model, if some things doesn't behave as expected it might be that your facing some bug in the code. And by the way, it would be wonderful if you reported it ;) Hernán --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
