*Warning:* Enabling the Script panel causes a Firefox slow-down due to a platform bug <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=815603>. This will be fixed with the next major Firefox and Firebug versions. So if you don't need the Script panel, just disable it. Besides that showing strict warnings also can cause some slow-down. To disable displaying strict warnings, you can uncheck the equally named option within the Console panel options <goog_540211844>. So my question: is there a problem running firebug, firefox and selenium > IDE? There is for me. Is it due to this error above or some other > reason? What can I do about it? I need Selenium IDE only to test XPATHs. > True, Firebug has an xpath tester but it is very unreliable and quite > often, testing an xpath does nothing (shows nothing found but also shows no > errors and does not say "no matches found"). > If you just want to test XPaths, you really don't need Selenium IDE. In Firebug there are two ways to test XPaths. One is the integrated $xcommand<https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/$x>, which returns different types of results depending on the XPath you are testing. And for advanced testing you can use the extension FirePath<https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Firebug_Extensions#FirePath>, which selects matching elements within an HTML view and inside the page. Results, which don't return elements are shown within its panel. And if there are no matches, there's a hint at the bottom telling you so. So if you think one of those two functionalities is "very unreliable", please let us (in case of the $x command) or the FirePath authors know what's wrong and provide a little test case, so your problem can be reproduced.
