Hi Don. Based on your description I'd say Break On Next worked perfectly. Only the next JS was so fast you never saw the throbber start.
Assuming that this is true, then the problem is that you really did not mean "break on next", In complex app, esp built on a library we don't understand, we want Break On Next to mean "break on the next thing that interests me". Any idea (short of mind reading) on how to allow users to indicate what kinds of things they want to break on are welcome. jjb On Aug 10, 5:27 pm, Dwig <[email protected]> wrote: > After following the 1.4/1.5 soap opera for some time, meanwhile > sticking with 1.3, I finally got some time to upgrade and try out > 1.4.2 (installed from the add-on dialog of FF 3.0.13, on Windows XP). > > To avoid any problems, I created a new profile, along with a shortcut > that starts FF with "-P myprofile -no-remote".
