Help, I lost the JSON tab in Firebug console

Question

Hello all. From some time (a week before installing the last 1.4.3 update for Firebug) the tab with the JSON contents has disappeared from my Firebug console.

I used to open the GET reply from AJAX in the console, then three tabs appear, which are labelled "URL Parameters", "Headers" and "Reply".

When I clicked on "Reply" another header appeared inside, with more tabs (if I remember well), and one of the tabs was "JSON", showing the JSON array in a readable way. This header has disappeared along with the JSON tab. Anyone know how to get it back? I'm really lost without it.

Answer 1

Try clicking on Firebug Icon > Options > Reset All Firebug Options.

Cheers, CaioToOn!

Answer 2

I eventually figured out why mine wasn't working. It was because my headers were being sent from apache with Content-Type: text/html.

I set the headers with php before printing the JSON:

header('Content-Type: text/plain')

And it all starting working properly - I can now see the JSON tab in the Firebug Console and Net tabs.
