Firebug debugger not working in Firefox 3.x?

I have been using Firebug for a while, and over the past month I have not been able to get the JavaScript debugger to work. I mean, it will work sometimes, but it does random things in 80% of cases. I don’t think it’s just me, because my friend has the same problem.

I searched for this problem and I am unable to find an interesting answer. Same thing at http://getfirebug.com/ .

Now I have the latest version of Firefox 3 on Windows XP and the latest version of Firebug, but it has not been working since January.

Is there a ticket open or something else? That would be helpful!

If you are using FF 3.0, try uninstalling the FireBug plugin and reinstalling it. You may need to clear the prefs.js file for all FireBug settings.

If you are using FF 3.1, then there is currently no good solution, and if you need to use FireBug, I recommend lowering the rating.

Usually, when this happens to me, I reinstall firebug.

also, firebug does not like LONG javascript files. if you can do something with the size of the files you are debugging, try debugging a bunch of small files against one giant file.
