How does Karma run Firefox? It sounds a lot like the instance of Firefox Karma is running is not using the profile in which Firebug is installed. Addons like Firebug install in your profile directory, not the browser directory, and the browser must be using that profile to have them available. If you leave the existing FF instance open it *can't* - the first instance using a profile will lock it. If Karma will let you do it, try invoking Firefox as "firefox -p <profilename>", where profilename is the name of the one where Firebug and other things are installed. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
