Which version of Firebug for PaleMoon 28?
Howdy,
Wondering if there's a "last good version" of Firebug that you all are using.
I'm on PM 28.3.1 32-bit, and Firebug 2.0.9.1-signed installed but is not working (I press the icon and nothing happens).
Thanks in advance.

Is there a reason for using Firebug instead of the built-in devtools?
Re: Which version of Firebug for PaleMoon 28?
Yes. Somehow I never realized there were built-in devtools. Are you referring to the menu under Tools / Web Developer? That looks very thorough...Lootyhoof wrote:Is there a reason for using Firebug instead of the built-in devtools?
If so, do you know if there's a way to get a button on the status bar to activate the tools? Not seeing one under Customize.
Big thanks for educating me.

There is no button; you can press F12 on the keyboard though.firefoxed wrote:do you know if there's a way to get a button on the status bar to activate the tools? Not seeing one under Customize.

If the built-in DevTools doesn't satisfy you, try version 2.0.17, that's the one I remember working fine with PM.

Haha, not going to happen... By coincidence F12 is the magic hotkey for "Preferences / Settings" in all my applications.Lootyhoof wrote:There is no button; you can press F12 on the keyboard though.
Wired it to F11, though, and you're right, with a shortcut a button may not be all that important. Thank you!
Looking forward to trying it out.
Thank you too!mrnhmath wrote:try version 2.0.17, that's the one I remember working fine with PM.
Wishing you both a great day.

Mmm not seeing Firebug 2.0.17 on the Legacy Add-On Repo, and the Firebug Releases 403s for me. Any idea where that version can be found?

Thank you for the tip! I'd never heard about that.doofy wrote:It's in JustOff's classic add-ons archive
For anyone on the same track, it's not immediately obvious how to use the archive… but it's not hard either! This is what worked for me:
- The archive itself is an extension. Install it (the xpi file) from the releases page.
- Once installed, you'll see an orange cogwheel at the top right of the navigation toolbar. Click it. This allows you to search for an add-on and download it to your file system.
- On the PaleMoon Add-Ons settings page (Tools / Add-Ons), use the pull-down menu of the cogwheel at the top of the page to "Install Add-On From File"

But WOW... The built-in Developer Tools look more powerful than Firebug. Really impressed. Probably won't use more than 5% of its features.
