All of these symptoms point to initialization failure. The static "XUL" code (equivalent to HTML) is loaded, but the Javascript that translates the menu item strings, powers the menu items, and initializes the user interface is not running. > > I've done the Error Console test, and it is working (https:// > getfirebug.com/tests/content/console/testErrors.html) > I've checked the installation too, and it shows the info you > specified.

But that > doesn't work either, it all stays the same. We need to concentrate on this case. This is the case we know works for lots and lots of people. First I ask you to create another new profile. Second, without installing anything, start and exit Firefox twice. This allows Firefox to build some configuration files. Third, open url "about:support" and verify that you have no extensions, zero. Fourth, install Firebug 1.6Xa7 (similar to 1.5.3 but our development version). http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6X Fifth, again restart Firefox twice Sixth, again open url "about:support" and verify that you have only Firebug installed. Do you have the same behavior? Now that I think about your case and Windrider's case, it sounds like javascript is broken in your installations.

Yes, all settings remain after uninstalling of Firebug or Firefox or almost any other extension. That is why reinstalling rarely fixes anything. jjb > > On Mar 12, 11:32 pm, John J Barton <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > On Mar 12, 1:45 pm, Windrider <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Well tried a few times and nothing showed up in either console window. > > > It is as if the links to FB do not really exist.
