I have an ancient (circa 2005) notebook which I installed Linux on. It's low end, with a <1ghz CPU, 256MB RAM, and an IDE4 HD.
Linux runs well enough, but I don't even try to run a current browser. Firefox and Chromium are simply too big and slow on old hardware. I was looking around for a lightweight alternative that was relatively standards compliant. The one I'm playing with is QupZilla, which is based on Qt and v4.8.4 of WebKit. (http://www.qupzilla.org) QupZilla includes WebKit's Web Inspector, and I thought Firebug Lite might be a nice addition. I could install the bookmarklet, but haven't been able to get it to work. If I open it in a new tab, it runs, and I see the icon and the menus. If I try to invoke it in an existing tab, it replaces the existing session with a blank tab with no content, making it useless. Suggestions for debugging the problem? (I am *not* a JavaScript expert.) As a possible alternate solution, QupZilla includes a plugin that lets it run Greasemonkey userscripts, and I have an assortment installed. Would it be possible to implement Firebug Lite *as* a userscript in that context? The notebook is mostly a testbed to see what performance I can get out of limited hardware without throwing money at it, so this is all largely theoretical and "Nope. Can't do it. Sorry." as an answer won't distress me. I don't normally browse from the box, and this is an exercise in curiosity. ______ Dennis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
