The instruction on our page isn't clear enough. Maybe I should rewrite it again.
You need to extract the contents of this compressed file: https://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/latest/firebug-lite.tar.tgz Then you should link to the file located at <directory where you extracted firebug>/build/firebug-lite.js When you load Firebug Lite locally it will try to locate the "skin" file under the <directory where you extracted firebug>. So it will try to load <directory where you extracted firebug>/skin/xp/firebug.html Which is the default skin. When loading it externally using a link or bookmarklet pointing to getfirebug.com, it will not use a skin file due to cross-domain restrictions. For this case, it will open the iframe with "about:blank" source, and then inject the HTML and CSS using JavaScript. Try extracting the whole tar.tgz file into a directory, and then link to <directory where you extracted firebug>/build/firebug-lite.js You can use both relative and absolute URLs for that. Let me know if it works, regards, Pedro Simonetti. 2011/5/4 Weston C <[email protected]> > I'm having some trouble getting Firebug Lite to work "locally" -- and > I don't mean using the "file:///" protocol (as is covered in the FAQ > on the Wiki), but apparently with any http-served setups where the > invoking <script> tag's src attribute is not "https://getfirebug.com/ > firebug-lite.js". > > For example: > > http://weston.canncentral.org/web_lab/FBL/testfbl-local.html > > The 'firebug-lite.js' invoked is stored in the same directory as the > html file, and was pulled from the 1.3.2 tarball.
