I'm not sure if its the fact firefox doesn't like that or whether its the function-based code I have (to save duplicating lines of code)? There is a working example here and the javascript is here ** Here is the jquery ** $(documen...

Need Firefox plug-in to show POSTed variables

I need to find out what variables and values are being POSTed to a script that I'm debugging. It's doing something strange to them, and it needs to start a session so I can't ouput them right at the beginning. I'm hoping to find a plug-in for Firefox that will show me what they are directly from the browser. Does anyone know of such a th...

Ignoring Firefox console messages on a more granular level than domain

I am using the Console² Firefox addon, which has the helpful Domain Blocker feature so that I don't have to see messages about outside issues that I have no control over.

Firefox "intelligently" and silently fixes incorrect file references in CSS and Scripts at runtime. Driving me nuts!

Well this is a really weird issue, I really didn't find anything on this elsewhere so I thought I'd address it here. Say I have an "image.jpg" and accidentally reference it in the CSS like so: url(imag.jpg) Note the missing "e". Now for me, Firefox is so incredibly clever that it will still find the correct image, but not spit out a ...
