This page is for tracking the integration of Firebug into Firefox.

Potential Integration Issues

These are issues that could be problematic.

Issue 97 - Firebug outputs too many warnings in the JS error console

Status: Patch submitted, but unacceptable to project maintainer.

Disucssion: Joe feels that strict mode warnings need to be adjusted, so I filed Bug 381223. I feel that if we are targeting this to web developers, the errors in chrome won't be an issue since those are not displayed by default. However, if we expand the target group to Extension Developers, this will be a serious issue. There are easily over 50 strict warnings with startup alone, so it will be next to impossible for extension authors to find their own strict warnings.

Issue 160 - Firebug lacks rull chrome under FreeBSD (and probably any platform except Darwin, Linux, linux-gnu, and WINNT)

Status: Researching.

Disucssion: Reporter posted a fix that I need to investigate more.

Non-Issues

Issue that were once listed as potential ones or have been concerns people have brought up, but have since been deemed non-issues.

Issue 166 - Without DOM Inspector, message displays HTML code in style window

Why not: I originally misread this as "Firebug requires DOM Inspector. Oops.

Firebug Requires DOM Inspector

Why not: Firebug only uses inIDOMUtils, which, as of Firefox 2.0, is built with layout.
