Reinstalling Firebug rarely helps in these mystery cases. The problem could be in your Firefox profile.
Firebug is also storing couple of files in the profile directory (look for firebug subdirectory and breakpoints.json and activations.json) Please try to create a new fresh Firefox profile and install only Firebug into it. If the problem disappears you can compare both profiles and try to find what is the difference. Honza -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
