Description Masaki Katakai 2009-07-01 02:42:31 UTC 
I got a report from community in Japan - JavaScript debugger on NetBeans 6.5 and 6.7
is not working with Firefox 3.5.

1. Start NetBeans
2. Create a project
3. Add JavaScript code
4. Start debugger and choose Firefox 3.5
5. NB will install extension to Firefox 3.5
   At the first time, it's not working because Firebug is old for Firefox 3.5 so
   NetBeans extension will be disabled.
6. Check update for Firebug and install new version (e.g. 1.4.0b3)
7. Try again
   But not working.

I'm not sure if it's an issue of Firebug or our NetBeans extension.

Any quick workaround with Firefox 3.5?
Comment 2 kirkaustin 2009-07-22 17:38:13 UTC 
This should be a P1!  Breakpoints don't work in JavaScript!
Comment 3 kirkaustin 2009-07-23 18:21:53 UTC 
Also fails on Mac OS X 10.5.7!
Comment 4 nbphpuser 2009-09-01 07:32:55 UTC 
js debugger does not work for me either, WinXp, 6.8m1
Comment 5 radku 2009-10-05 20:28:27 UTC 
JS debugger doesn't work for me as well. 6.5 with FF 3.5. The debugger starts and the page opens in FF correctly but the
HTML/JS doesn't appear in the NetBeans and so I cannot set any breakpoints.

On 2009-11018 the JavaScript debugger is featured on "My NetBeans News and Tutorials" How does this make sense if the debugger does not work?
Comment 7 Martin Entlicher 2012-09-03 08:32:17 UTC 
A new implementation of JavaScript debugger is in trunk. Closing old issues.
