Issue 450: DOM Browser crashes Firefox
The cause, in my opinion, a design flaw in Javascript. One of the wonderful things about Javascript is the ability to use objects as tables. You can loop over the table easily:
var table = {}; table[”foo”] = bar;
for (name in table) { …
Then you can test for values in the table:
if (name in table) {…
But wait, if you do that test and name just happens to be constructor, then the test will always be true!
So the only reliable way to test the table is:
if (table.
Issue 434: Network Monitoring not showing image downloads
This one is deep into Mozilla-tech. The net panel in firebug tries to
analyze downloads using xpcom interfaces. It uses getInterface() in
one place and when the object is an image, the call fails with an
exception. Based on my experience with queryInterface() I blindly
added a test in front of the call to getInterface() to test instanceof
on the object. But this test always fails and images don’t show.
Thanks to Honza for bailing me out.
Unreported problem with breakpoints removed then re-added
Found this one while working on firebug 1.2. This is a bug from back
in Oct. 2007, and it could explain many problems with breakpoints. A
global switch was incorrectly set when breakpoints are removed that
allowed the breakpoints to look like they were set but they could
never cause the debugger to stop.

The firebug devs have just yesterday 4/20 committed a patch to the 1.2 svn branch that seems to fix this. So, I've put together a new version of the firebug package based on the 1.2 version that's currently available in svn. I've also built the package and made it available in my PPA - version is 1.2~b20+svn561. Please let me know if this helps you.
