I've been using 1.4 for a about two weeks now and I'm not very fond of it. I couldn't answer the simple question "is firebug on or off?". On 1.3 I'd usually enable it for any site I was working on, knowing it would always be there waiting to appear on the press of a button. In 1.4 pressing F12 not only show/hides it but "activates" an instance for the current page, or something like that. That's awkard. I never used the minimize/close buttons before, only F12. If I went to a site that I was curious about, I'd just enable it and refresh the page. One thing that really bothers me in this new model is that it doesn't show errors or allow you to inspect anything before it's visible. Those are the two things I used the most, a quick look for errors on the status bar and right-clicking an element / Inspect without having to bring it up first. It's counter-productive. Also I'm not sure about the impact on performance it has (and I haven't noticed any difference) but GMail won't stop complaining and freezing, and I like to keep it open all day. I just uninstalled and went back to 1.3 for now, as it's still quite buggy/slow and the large icons/top bar are annoying. cheers -- ricardo --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
