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?
