I agree that orange for normal messages is a poor choice. Unfortunately, I currently can't do more than ask you to provide your input on bug 1269730 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269730>. It looks like the DevTools team currently has different priorities and I don't have enough time to contribute a patch for it. I assume it's relatively easy to fix this, as it mainly means to change some CSS. If you or somebody else want to help, the color for the messages is defined in the variables.css file <https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/0eef1d5a39366059677c6d7944cfe8a97265a011/devtools/client/themes/variables.css#41,101,161> (note the three places for the three different themes). > Firebug still works (for the most part) on my system -- including the > various tabs -- except for the Firebug Console.

A quick look at the Browser Console <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Browser_Console> shows this: TypeError: ConsoleAPIListener is not a constructor chrome://firebug/content/console/console.js:149:38 Sebastian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
