I can use DOMNodeInserted to see elements put in, but I must be doing this 'too soon', because the script panel logic decides the panel has clientHeight zero, no room for any source lines.

I am running in the load handler for the window; the script panel is in a browser:
  window
    browser
      document
        div <-- clientHeight 0

Unless there's something wacky going on, by the time that load handler runs you should be able to get the correct clientHeight. Is it possible to create a XUL file (small extension, or standalone XUL even better) that shows the problem?

That said, what's the markup of that document containing the <div>? Maybe 0 is the right height for that markup?

If so, then maybe my focus on clientHeight is wrong. What I need to know is the pixel height of the browser element so I can compute the number of source lines to render.

If I set a load handler on the browser from within the load handler for the window, it never fires. I assume that means the load is already complete.

Yeah; the onload for the window should wait for the browser onload if the browser's src attribute is set in the markup.

Oh, that is the opposite of what I expected. Seems weird: how can I add the load event handler on the contained browser unless I do it in the window document load event handler?

Anyway I solved this problem by wrapping the code in a setTimeout. This works but is unsatisfactory since I don't know what Firebug code will run between the setTimeout registration and fire. Maybe none, maybe not.
