On the contrary, our efforts to build our test system, extensive tracing and self-debugging support, dedicated attention to fixing bugs reported to our bug list, and close coordination with the Firefox team cause Firebug to be steadily less buggy while delivering more features. I have great confidence that every version of Firebug has been more solid that the previous one. > find is that when executing script, if it hits an error it just stops > executing the script.

I'm not sure Based on this description, but without a test case, my first guess would be that you have htmlValidator installed. While I was unable to determine why htmlValidator breaks Firebug, I cannot reproduce any similar problem in 1.5. If you post a reproducible test case, I will fix it. > what to make of all this.

My suggestion is to upgrade to Firebug 1.5X.0b5, http://getfirebug.com/releases, the most complicated *and* least buggy Firebug yet. jjb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
