Drupal for Firebug 0.0.7 is not compatible with Firebug 1.8+

I think it is not a problem of firefox version. I have been using FF5 with firebug without any problems.
Empty tabs starts after firebug upgrade to version 1.8.0 on 29 July ....

I have the same issue it just stopped working today.

yes, the problem is firebug 1.8

I was/am seeing the same issue with Firebug 1.8, (I'm using DrupalforFirebug 7.x-1.2).
Downgraded Firebug plugin to 1.7.3 at http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.7/
Everything is fine again.

This is what I had to do as well and this fixed it. Thank you so much!

#7 worked for me, too. Thank you.

#7 work for me as well. Just to note this is for D6 as well.

Looks like there were some API changes in Firebug 1.8: http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Firebug_1.8_API_Changes

Drupal for Firebug displays nothing on Firefox 6.0, Firebug 1.8.1, Drupal 6.

I'm hesitant to change the issue settings but the same problem is going on on Drupal 6 for me.

Browsed the API changes, but don't want to go there personally, I have enough on the plate.

Can I assume someone will be on this or should I consider moving back to Firebug 1.7.3?

Actually Firebug 1.7.3 is not compatible with Firefox 6. So if this is going to be dealt with relatively soon, I'll do without and press on until a fix arrives for Firebug 1.8.n.

If it is not, then I have to think about moving back to Firefox 5.

I've succeeded in get working the extension by replacing all occurrences of the "FirebugContext" variable by the "Firebug.currentContext" one in files FirebugOverlay.xul and FirebugPanel.js.

How do I apply this to my set up?

DrupalForFirebug 0.0.7
Firebug 1.8.1
Drupal for Firebug Module 7.x-1.2

Thank you

Thanks, apodran - I got this working with the changes listed in your patch #13 using Firefox 6 & Firebug 1.8.1. I'm also using the Add-on Compatibility Reporter add-on, which turns on all of your add-ons even if they are listed as incompatible with the current version of FF. It's been useful for keeping my FF add-ons working even as FF keeps releasing new updates.

Nice one apodran - works perfectly here. Thanks.

For those having trouble patching. You'll find the mozilla extension folder in something like:

C:\Users\"USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\WHATEVER.default\extensions

It'll probably be an .XPI file (mine was DrupalForFirebug@drupal.org.xpi) which is actually a zip file. Unzip it, make the necessary changes in the diff file at #13 and then zip up the files again. Rename to .XPI if necessary and copy it over the original .XPI file.

Restart firefox (probably necessary) and you're good to go.

Thanks! This works fine! ^ ^
#13
1. Download https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/8370/addon-8370-late...
2. rename this to .zip
3. Uncompress this in a directory
4. Download the path http://drupal.org/files/issues/DrupalForFirebug_0.0.7.patch (inside of directory)
5. git apply -v DrupalForFirebug_0.0.7.patch
6. Remove the .path file
7. Compress files on one zip file
8. Rename zip file to xpi
9. Install xpi file in firefox

I have upload the zip file. you can rename this to .xpi ;)

Good luck!

Hi xcribano, the attached .zip works perfect. Many thanks!

i cant rename it to .xpi... keeps on being a zip.

- edit: Dreamweaver helped.

False Problem!

Turns out that #18 works for the following:

Firefox 7.0
Firebug 1.8.2
easy XDebug 1.5
FireDiff 1.1.4
friendlyBug 1.8.0

DrupalforFirebug 0.0.7 (patched per #18)
FirePHP 0.6.1

Drupal 6.22
drupalforfirebug module
version = "6.x-1.4"
core = "6.x"
project = "drupalforfirebug"
datestamp = "1292378609"

Below is a long bug report of a badly broken Drupal install.

I turned off all of the FireFox modules and restarted the entire system. This has the effect, among other things, of clearing MemCache.

My site came up in admin mode. I methodically re-enabled my FireFox extensions one at a time.

Drupal for Firebug, Firebug, all ran fine.

XDebug does not work, for some reason, but I think that is a separate issue.

So thanks so much for the patch. Great work.

I am leaving my bug report in case anyone sees the same symptoms. A complete fresh reboot cleared things out and now I am back to worrying about the usual issues of getting Drupal configured properly.

-------
I downloaded the .zip file attached to #18. Changed the extension to .xpi and told the Finder to open it with Firefox.

Double clicked and Firefox installed and restarted.

Drupal for Firebug did not immediately show results, but a page reload later it did.

It complained that the SQL query data was not being saved, so I went to admin/devel page and turned that on and also set error reporting on.

Now I am in a very strange situation.

When admin is not logged into my site, it runs fine.

When I log in as user 0 I get an immediate error message:

notice: Undefined index: #pre_render in drupalforfirebug_array_compare_code() (line 444 of /Users/larrylowe/Sites/fca-prod/sites/all/modules/drupalforfirebug/drupalforfirebug.module). =>

Followed by a Krumo version 0.2a vardump that reads, expanded:

Bug persists with Firefox 7 and firebug 1.9a3. The patched extension from #18 does not fix the problem for the latest FF and firebug.

Thank You !!! I finally got Drupal for Firebug to work for Drupal 7.8 !!! Hooray - a great outcome from a strong community of helpful bloggers.

Same bug here in
Firefox 7.0.1
Drupal for firebug version 6.1.4
firebug 1.8
Any updates on this?

Changed version compatibility to allow Firefox 7 and up based on download from #18.

Rename file to .xpi and install plugin.

Thanx All,
This worked for me

just to sum it up,
download the zip file from #27

rename it drupalforfirebug-0.0.7-fix.xpi
right click - open with - choose program firefox.exe - install plugin

#27 and #28 works for me too in Drupal 6.x. Thanks!

Also working for me with Firefox 7.0.1. One minor addition following on point at #28, you can also just drag your xpi file into a Firefox window to trigger the update.

Just tried this with new firefox 8.0 on drupal 7 install -> Working perfectly!

Thanks. Works now. (D6, FF 7.0.1)

Works for me on Drupal 7 FF 8.0.1, Firebug 1.8.4. Thanks so much!

#27 works for me too. thanks!

Drupal 7.9
FF 7.01
firebug 1.8.4

Super!!
#27 works and for me!!!
Drupal 6.22,
Firefox 8.0.1,
FireBug 1.8.4

Nice! Drupal for Firebug is back!
I used the Zip in #27. It wasn't compatible with firebug 1.9.3b but I downgraded to the recommended stable release and it's fine.
Current setup:
Firefox 8.0.1
Firebug 1.8.3 (http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.8/)
Drupal for Firebug 0.0.7 patched with #27

Update to allow FF 10 and above with Firebug 1.8.4

download the zip file

rename it drupalforfirebug-0.0.7-fix.xpi

right click - open with - choose program firefox.exe - install plugin

#36 Works with Firefox 9.0.1

For me #34 does work in FF 9.0.1 but with Firebug 1.8.4!

Is this mod not going to be maintained?

It's been half a year since my last visit to the project page, back then other user's were downgrading older versions to get this working and nothing appears to have changed.

Will there be a new version which works with latest versions of firefox and firebug - not just other users patching older versions. At the time of writing this that is firefox 9.01 and firebug 1.90

Thank you

For me #37 doesn't work on Firefox 8.0 and Firebug 1.9.0.

#37 works for me on FF 9.0.1 and FB 1.8.4 on Snow Leopard
Thanks!

#37 was working for me (FF 8.x and FB 1.8.x). It has stopped working with FF 9.0.1 and FB 1.9.0.

Confirmed post above (#43) - the .xpi extension is NOT working with FF9.01 + FB 1.90.

Based on #41, #43, #44 seems patch no longer works on FB above 1.8

I'm on Ubuntu FF10 + FB 1.9.1 -- same blank screen -- theme uses $closure in D6

With #37 and firebug 1.84 it does work. You can download the older version of firebug from their website: http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.8/

I've succeeded in get working the extension with FireBug 1.9.1 by fixing FirebugPanel.js.

There are two files in attachment:
1) The patch which can be used by developers.
2) The updated addon file. It should be rename from .zip to .xpi before install.

Seeing as how this has had a working patch since Sept of 2011. When will we be seeing this error (error that makes this whole thing stop working) fixed.

Patch failed for me.

Can we have a new version of the mod? It's been nearly a year since the last major release and it's clear a new version would be appreciated.

someone (@apodron or @dawick?) should likely file for "abandoned project" & see if they can't take over. Seems ch3 is working on other things these days

Updated addon file from #47 works for me. Thanks.
FF10.0.2, Firebug 1.9.1

Re-uploaded the same files as in #47 with changed version inside. (Now it is 0.0.8a).
The change was made because this addon tries to update to the old 0.0.7 version.

Patch failed for me.

You can just use the addon file instead of the patch.
If you want to edit it yourself, just download 0.0.7 version from original addon location Drupal For Firebug , unpack and apply the patch.

I have changed the title to accurately reflect the problem, and switched to RTBC. Hopefully we can get this done.

I think it is not proper title for the issue. The existing Drupal for Firebug 0.0.7 is not compatible with Firebug 1.8+. The version 1.9 of Drupal for Firebug was never exist.

Sorry, cant believe I missed that typo.

There is now a beta of the next release of the Drupal for Firebug mozilla plugin that fixes this issue.

It is version 0.0.8a expect a new full release soon.

Still having the same problem when I upgraded. Tried firefox 13 - 17 with 0.0.8a to no avail.

Please do not re-open old issues. This issue was fixed. There is a new issues that you should look to for updates. Extension breaks with version 14 of Firefox
