Re: Debugger not stopping at hard breakpoint in xul javascript.

(I assume you are using venkman). I don't know what you mean by a "hard
breakpoint".  Does the source have a dash '-' in front of the line you
breakpoint? That indicates a line that venkman thinks is in the scripts
line table.  If yes, then the script you breakpointed just isn't the
script your extension is running: the browser isn't breakpointing
because the code isn't running.  If no, then hmm, my guess would be the
same.  From the debuggers point of view there isn't anything special 
about scripts from extensions.
