Problem with Firefox Extension

I am using Venkman's javascript debugger to debug a Firefox extension. I set a breakpoint, javascript is running, but it will not stop at my breakpoints, so I cannot debug.

Could you help me with this problem? What's wrong or advise me an alternative debugger?

Thank you

I definitely recommend using Firebug . Many, much better than Venkman.

This happens sometimes when you install Firebug and Venkman at the same time. Try disabling Firebug, not just from Firebug’s own menu, but actually go to the list of add-ons, disable it and restart your browser.

This can happen if the same file is downloaded several times - for example. you have several windows open, and each of them loads utils.js. Each window loaded the same script, but now each of them has a different instance of this script. For the debugger, each instance of the script is different (technically speaking, in JavaScript, which is actually there), and when you set a breakpoint, you can do this on the wrong instance of the script.
