@Honza:
Thanks! The tutorials are really helpful for getting into Firebug
extension development!
I tried the the xpi but the activation does not work and the disable/
enable options are not added to the tab mini menu
When I add this.panelName = "myActivablePanel" to the
MyActivableModule - initialize method it works fine (using Firebug
1.5X.4)
Adding this.panelName to the initialize method:
Firebug.MyActivableModule = extend(Firebug.ActivableModule,
{
initialize: function()
{
this.panelName = "myActivablePanel";
Firebug.ActivableModule.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
if (FBTrace.DBG_ACTIVABLEPANEL)
FBTrace.sysout("ActivableModule.initialize;");
},
...
Also, getOptionsMenuItems has to be declared/overridden in the
extension.
It has to return at least an empty array/no custom menu items.
Otherwise the mini menu - enable and disable options will not be
added.
