I have installed 1.8b4 and it appears that something has gone very
wrong.  First, I opened Firebug (1.8.0a1) at the bottom of the browser
window and then opened up the Trace Console.  The Trace Console window
opens up but none of the buttons are operational.  The
tracing.cmd.Tools button will dropdown a menu when I select it but
selecting things like tracing.cmd.Save and tracing.cmd.Load simply
closes the dropdown instead of poping up a file selection window.  The
only thing that seems operational is the last item - Always_Open.
Selecting this places a checkmark to the left of it and selecting it
again removes the checkmark.  At the bottom of the browser window the
Firebug screen indicated "Script Panel was inactive during page load -
Reload to see all sources"  Clicking on the highlighted Reload link in
the Firebug window or simply using the Firefox refresh button closes
the Firebug window.  When reopened I get the same message again.  I
tried clicking the "Open Firebug in New Window" button but when I do I
lose most of the buttons - the Console, HTML, CSS, Script, DOM and Net
buttons have disappeared.  All I have left are the Firebug Options,
Page Inspect, Go back, Go forward, Show command line and the Panel
Selector buttons on the left-hand side.  On the right-hand side is the
search box followed by the Minimize, Attach and Deactivate buttons.
If I refresh the browser window at this point, the Firebug window
remains open but nothing changes or is displayed in either the Firebug
or FBTrace windows.  At this point I disabled FBTrace 1.8b4 but found
that Firebug still acted exactly the same way.  I then removed FBTrace
completely, dropped back to FBTrace 1.8.b2 and eventually removed it,
and even dropped back to Firebug 1.7.1b1 without FBTrace installed.
Unfortunately, something has happened which seems to render Firebug
inoperable.  I am now back to running Firebug 1.8.0a1 and FBTrace
1.8b4.

One further data point (I've been running some checks as I type this
in) - I had the FBTrace window open and Firebug open in a separate
window (ie: not at the bottom of the browser window).  I closed
Firebug but now it will not reopen normally - clicking on the icon
does nothing.  Hovering over the icon shows:

Firebug 1.8.0a1
Console: On, Net: Off, Script: Off
suspended
Minimized

Right-clicking on the icon gave me a dropdown menu so I selected the
"Open Firebug in a New Window" option.  This opened the Firebug window
and now I have all of the buttons across the top that I should have.
I still have the "Script Panel was inactive..." message but now, after
reloading the browser page the Firebug window is completely empty
except for a button in the middle that says "Activate Firebug for the
current website".  Clicking on this button just takes me back to the
"Script Panel was inactive..." message.

I am at a loss for what to do at this point.  Up to now I could always
remove and reinstall a previous version (Firebug or FBTrace) and see
what I had previously observed with that version.  This time nothing I
try allows me to get any form of Firebug or FBTrace operation.  I
glanced in the extensions directory and even looked at the files in
the profile directory that had this mornings timestamp but I'm not
sure I would recognize a problem with any of them even if I was
looking at it.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave
