This means Firebug cannot read the locale files or cannot apply them. You may be able to debug this with FBTrace set to LOCALE and INITIALIZATION. > > 5.

If you are really messed up, don't reinstall, it rarely works. Instead, create a new Firefox profile to give yourself a clean start. I usually run with the firefox command line option "-jsconsole", I bet you have error messages there. I guess something is interfering with Firebug initialization, so you never get to a good state. jjb > I kept switching back to older versions and here's what I found: > > 1.
