I have a question about this - as I mentioned above I can load the
browser by double clicking on the main HTML file.  It pulls in all the
same files but this time it is getting them from the local development
directory rather than through the Ethernet interface.  When I do it
this way, the Firebug display is correct.  If it were a character
causing the problem, wouldn't this exhibit the same symptoms as when
it came in over the network?

Also, I am trying to get the FBTrace extension working.  I have
installed it from the link given above.  However, I get an error
message when I try to run it:

"Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Users/Dave Harper/
AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/y86qk0dw.default/extensions/
[email protected]!/chrome/content/traceConsole.html."

In trying to resolve this issue I've found a lot of fairly confusing
information.  In a posting by honza (http://groups.google.com/group/
firebug-working-group/browse_thread/thread/6e2c2ca5e4b6cf26) he
states:

In your profile/extension directory you need:
[email protected]

Okay, so now I search for information about files in the profile/
extension directory and in the FBTrace wiki there is a link on the
"steps to create a Firefox extension proxy file".  This seems to be
talking about cases where a developer is working on source files
locally rather than a JAR file.  So I tracked down version 1.8 of
Firebug in SVN and installed it into a temporary directory.  I then
created the "[email protected]" file with the full path to the
downloaded source.  This didn't make a bit of difference, so I'm still
struggling with the installation.  I suspect the steps I've performed
probably seem absurd to someone who knows what they're doing but I'm a
hardware guy trying to expand my horizons a bit.  I usually get where
I want to go - just takes me a bit longer!

If anyone could comment on the fact that Firebug displays correctly
when loaded from the local filesystem I'd really appreciate it.  Also,
any ideas on what I'm doing wrong on the installation would be *very*
welcome.

Regards,
Dave
