I suggest as a next step that you install Firebug 1.6X.0a8 in a new Firefox profile and try it on your localhost version.
If it works, you can try variations between this setup and your current one (Firebug version, stuff in your profile). If it fails you can open Firebug > Firebug Icon Menu > Open Tracing > Options SOURCEFILES. Clear then load you problem page. The URL of the sources will appear in the trace. jjb On Mar 23, 10:09 pm, M Gozler <[email protected]> wrote: > I am using FF 3.6 with FB 1.5.2 for developing a site using Javascript > as well as PHP/MySQL.
