I agree completely. If you have an alternative solution, I would really like to hear about it.
I believe that what is going on in these case is something like this: 1. User has Firebug 1.3.3 + other extensions. All works. 2.User updates to Firebug 1.4. Some changes in Firebug implementation to handle FF 3.5 conflict with some extension. Firebug fails; user blames Firebug. 3. User creates a clean profile and installs Firebug. Works. 4. User adds more extensions. Most of the time this works. When it fails, user blames the newly added extension. But it is also the case that user accidently update extensions in the process. That is, they had v2 of addon X and did not update before; now in the new profile they load v2.1. So they end up with the 'same' extensions as before but it all works because of additional updates. jjb On Jul 24, 8:12 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > That seems like a pretty seriously bad situation.
