Re: eval error in Firefox 1.0.4 , not in 1.0 and IE

I asked the same question a few weeks ago.  Someone sent me this link:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293933

In that bug, post #7 includes a patch for a file called venkman-eval.js.  I
have gotten Venkman working with 1.04 by doing the following:

1) Go to the directory containing "venkman.jar".  On my Win XP work
PC, this was a few levels under "%HOME%/Application
Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles".
2) Un-jar this file with "jar -xf venkman.jar"
3) Edit "content/venkman/venkman-eval.js", changing the two lines as
indicated by neil's patch.
4) To be safe, make a backup copy of the original venkman.jar.
5) Recreate the JAR with "jar -0cf venkman.jar content locale skin"
6) Restart Firefox.

That worked, but I should mention that I had problems the next day. 
Specfically, I could not open new windows with the patch applied.  I
backed out the patch and was again able to open windows.  YMMV.
