I agree that this does not make sense. But your problem does not make sense either. If we can't get any Firebug JS to run, we can't diagnose the problem with our tools. Here is another suggestion if you want to go all out: 1) new profile, 2) install Firebug 1.6a7, http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6X 3) install Chromebug 1.6a7, http://getfirebug.com/releases/chromebug 4) start firefox on the command line with -p <yourNewProfileName> -jsconsole -chromebug Look at the Error Console. This uses some of the same code as Firebug start up but in a different way, maybe we can shake something out. > > Perhaps my FireFox install is just too messed up, can't even remember > when I did the original fresh install.

If you know how, I'd suggest installing a new copy of Firefox in your own directory. This separates the problems: the new copy will use the same profile as the original. jjb > > On Mar 14, 5:56 pm, John J Barton <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Mar 14, 8:17 am, Mav <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Having the same problem on FireFox 3.5.8 (XP SP2) after upgrading from > > > Firebug 1.5.1 to 1.5.3.
