No version of Firebug has any problem in this area. My guess is that you have a option set that you don't realize or you have interference from another extension or you are trying the feature on a site without margins or padding. If you have tried my suggestion using either 1.6a20 from getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6X or 1.5.4 available from http://addons.mozilla.org and you still have problems, the solution that will almost certainly work for you (at some pain) is a new Firefox profile, http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ. jjb > > On Aug 17, 9:53 pm, John J Barton <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Aug 17, 4:55 pm, Jeffrey <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I am currently using the latest version of firebug and mozilla.
