A good place to start is 1. Open firebug tracing panel with option ERRORS 2. The first time you have a problem, check the trace. 3. Whether or not there is any info in the trace, describe exactly what the problem is. 'net panel stops working' is not enough. Is it blank? is the Console panel still showing XHR? If you set NET on the tracing options do you see stuff? > > Maybe the someone has time can take one bug and investigate it and > hopefully provide more detail (steps to repro, etc). Only you two with the problem can be the ones to take the time. There isn't any other "someone" able to see your problems. No one from the Firebug team can help you, we do not see these problems. jjb > > Garrett -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
