Re: Firefox doesn't handle the x-jsd protocol?

Hi John,
  For some reason my response keeps not appearing here on:

http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.apps.js-debugger/browse_thread/thread/8e5ef196cd5e5746/9333c2826c02439a#9333c2826c02439a

  The gist is that I tried what you suggested, still didn't solve my
problem, so I downloaded Mozilla 1.7.something for OS X, and it's
embedded debugger looks just like Venkman and works correctly on my
platform. Still not ideal, but at least I have a dev environment at
home now (work is WinXP and FF+Venkman works fine).

thanks
Chad
