Hi Andreas, This is a security restriction of the Google Chrome's extension system. Extensions are not allowed to have access to your machine file system.
You can workaround this problem by loading your page in a web server installed in your machine, so you can access that local files through "http://"; addresses. This is the best solution: it is safe, and you'll get the most of what Firebug Lite extension can give you. I recommend using Apache HTTP Server, but you can use anyone (like IIS for example). http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi You can also load the Firebug Lite locally, copying the source code to your machine, and loading using a <script> tag in your page. See section "c) Local link (offline)" under installation instructions: http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/beta/#Install Finally, you can use the bookmarlet. See section "a) Bookmarlet": http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/beta/#Install regards, Pedro Simonetti. 2010/4/19 moritz <[email protected]>: > Not quite the same but similar: I'm trying to enable FireBug Lite 1.3 > on pages loaded via the file: protocol and added "file:///*" to > "permissions", unfortunately to no avail.
