 |

hello everybody!
for those who don't know: firebug is a firefox plugin.
i can install it without problems, but it does not work... the little green thing on the lower right shows a menu, but that's all.
"inspect" element from the right-click-context-menu does nothing and the bug button you can add to the menu bar on the top does nothing either.
it does not under windows. i do not know if that's a linux/gentoo/my-box problem.
any thoughts welcome.
thanks in advance for you help and
kind regards
--alex

I don't know, if firebug works with www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin, but if you use www-client/mozilla-firefox, you need to set USE flag "mozdevelop". | Code: | | USE="mozdevelop" emerge mozilla-firefox |
should work (at least does for me).

Not a useless thread! That's exactly the piece of information I needed (though I guess I might have found it eventually on my own, once I'd got to "remember to check use-flags" thinking), so thanks for helping me out too!

One more important thing that can thwart Firebug...
If you've successfully recompiled with the "mozdevelop" use flag and Firebug still isn't working (as was the case for me - menus but no functionality), it may be because you have the Colorzilla addon installed too.
After uninstalling Colorzilla, Firebug now works fine.
This is a shame - I'd like to have both, but I can perform the Colorzilla functions I require in other ways (for example using ScreenGrab and GIMP), so I'll stick with Firebug over Colorzilla until such time as the two can coexist peacefully.
It seems this is at least the case on Ubuntu as well so I'm guessing it's at least a Firefox-On-Linux thing, if not a problem on all platforms. Maybe I'll see if they can coexist on Windoze sometime... I suspect probably they can't?
Oh well... bye bye Colorzilla, and thanks for those small bits of hassle your eyedropper saved me with my CSS, I shall miss that!

If you use KDE, try the KolorPicker.
