I have tried using new profile, but it didn't help much. Also, going by bug count doesnt really help. How many *major* issues and *major* annoyances would help.
Anyway, here are the specific issues: 1. If one of the object is null or undefined, it won't complain - BIG issue. It only complain if we have "stop on all errors" turned ON. 2. If we have "stop on all errors" turned ON, it shows the error right- on-the-javascript-code. Its very hard to read whats wrong. 3. Every now and then "New Watch Expression" stops working. i.e. throws some NSException. I usually see this after I keep firebug stopped at a debug-point for 5 minutes or so and then try to evaluate some javascript expression. 4. Earlier, we could enable/disable firebug per website. This was extremely helpful since, I didnt have to manually turn-off when I go to yahoo.com, and turn-on when i go to myapplication.com. It was automatic but currently, its very annoying I will have to remember all the time. 5. Because of 4, if we forget to turn-ON the debugger on mypplication.com, and then say we realized that that and turn-ON firebug, we still have to REFRESH browser for it to start working.
