RE: looking for a symbolic debugger for FF extension

Hi John

I guess I am a little dense. How do I set a break point in my toolbar code?
I tried adding a "debugger;" statement in my javascript, but that does not
seem to have any effect. I tried to use the "load" feature. It showed my
javascript source file. I set a break, how ever it seems to have been
ignored?

There is probably some fundamental thing I am doing wrong. I tried starting
Firefox with the -venkman option. I see venkman start up, but I am not able
to set break points. It does not seem to know about my toolbar

Thanks

Andy

Venkman can do this.  ChromeBug wants to do this, soon.

? First create your extension then debug it.  Firefox loads the toolbar, 
venkman is just there to catch you when you fall.
