I've been working with firebug for a while now, but I've noticed recently that it doesn't always allow you to set a break-point in your code for some reason. The line numbers in the firebug debugger turn all grey and you can't get the program to stop on any of them. When I can get it to work, the lines you can break on turn green. I...

I've heard of Prototype XUL, but it seems like it is essentially just "Pr...
How can I install a Firefox addon via nsis installer? When I call Firefox with the .xpi extension it doesn't work and xpi extensions are not associated with Firefox either.
