Most of my javascript work is done with Firebug and I feel annoying most of the times having to switch between the HTML mode and console mode (which again I split into output mode and input mode). When I switch to a different page to see the HTML and come back, I lose the code that I write. What is the best way to go about developing jav...

I would like to get the full url of an image in a web page. The image is used as a background image. I was using Firebug's inspect feature. In the CSS view, it shows url(/images/myimage.gif) for the background-image element. Is there a way to display the full url? ...
My web workers are becoming increasingly complicated and I'm sorely missing Firebug access while working with them. This: console.log("test"); Does not produce anything from a web worker. I've also tried the following: dump("test"); And that doesn't produce any output either. Firefox version: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac...

In Firebug's HTML Layout view, what HTML property does "offset" represent. I have goggled around looking for a coherent answer and have yet to find one. ...
I'm confused with these colors. I noticed there are 4 colors showing in the left hand column of FireBug DOM tree: Bold black Black Bold green Green In the right hand column: Blue Red Bold green Green Multiple color elements representing object structures.

I have added an onclick event, which opens a new tab/page, to a button which has an action already (I don't know which action cause it isn't displayed in source, or maybe it's a form submit action). Button originally also opens a page in new tab, what I want to do is fire up some function after my onclick attribute executes which will s...
Does anyone know how I can use firebug from an overlay.js script in a Firefox extension? I'm on Snow Leopard (just in case it makes a difference). I'm developing an extension but it's taking me forever because I have no visibility into my javascript objects. Thanks! ...
I've been adding quite a bit of javascript to my pages lately, but have learned it all in classic seat-of-the-pants fashion. When I want my page to do something, I google and experiment until I get the result I want. I frequently have objects in my pages that I want to activate/deactivate, hide, show, etc., but - having missed the ri...

Firbug profiler outputs the functions called, but not the arguments/parameters of each function call. Is there any way to get those arguments?
