How do I fix the File menu in Selenium IDE on Firefox 20? As reported elsewhere, none of the commands in that menu do anything* after upgrading Firefox from the previous version. So far I've tried restarting the browser, resetting the Selenium options, and disabling the Firebug extension, which a colleague reported had fixed similar issues in the past.
* If I click File → New Test Case and then File → Recent Test Suites → any test suite, it asks "Would you like to save the test suite?" even though it didn't show the test case before and doesn't show the test suite afterwards.
Looks like Selenium doesn't check the compatibility when updating Firefox - Uninstalling the extension and installing the latest version turned out to be sufficient to fix this.

When I type few commands like this:
$("#popup").click();
var x = 1;

the commands are simply copied to the prompt window.
They are not executed !
What is wrong with my Firebug (Firefox) addon, please ?
Firefox v 43, Firebug v2.0.12b1
but with Chrome everything works fine
According to a thread in the Firebug forum, this may be caused by a conflict with other extensions. The extensions named there are:
Wappalyzer
Ghostery 5.2.1
The easiest Xdebug 1.2
Skype Click to Call
A Greasemonkey script
Nimbus Screen Capture
1Password
Coupons at Checkout
So, if you have one of those extensions installed or a Greasemonkey script running, disabling it and try it again.
If that doesn't help, I suggest you follow the steps described in the Firebug first aid page and report that bug. The steps are:
Open the Firefox Error Console (Ctrl/⌘+Shift+J). Any errors related to Firebug? Copy them and remember to include them in your report.
Create a new profile, install Firebug, reproduce the problem. Still a bug? Report the problem, else
Return to your previous profile, open the Add-ons Manager via Ctrl/⌘+Shift+A or Firefox menu button > Add-ons or about:addons to disable all extensions except Firebug. Solved? Enable the other extensions again one by one until you find the buggy one and report it, else
Open the troubleshooting information via Firefox menu button > ? > Troubleshooting Information, click Show Folder, open prefs.js in a text editor, copy all lines containing extensions.firebug into a separate text file, reset all options (via Firebug icon menu (upper left corner) > Options > Reset All Firebug Options), reproduce the problem. Solved? Report the problem attaching the created file, else
In the profile folder go to firebug/, move the file breakpoints.json (if it doesn't exist, go to step 4) out of that folder, reproduce the problem. Solved? Report the problem attaching your breakpoints.json (Attention: breakpoints.json contains the URLs of all breakpoints you set, so make sure there's nothing, that shouldn't be public), else
In the profile folder under firebug/ move the file annotations.json (if it doesn't exist, go to step 5) out of that folder, reproduce the problem. Solved? Report the problem attaching your annotations.json (Attention: annotations.json contains the URLs of all pages you enabled Firebug for, so make sure there's nothing, that shouldn't be public)
hi last day i installed a ajax tool in my eclipse for js and html page editor and to debug them, but unfortunately it stop working, my project doesn't show any output and before i installed ajax tool output was executed in chrome and now it opens in Firefox please can anyone help me thanks in advance
Are you sure your installation was proper , Make a proper installation including mozilla features :-
1) Press Help -> Install New Software...
2) Tell Eclipse the source of Mozilla features. Mozilla features provides pieces to embed standard Mozilla browser inside Eclipse.
In "Work with" field, paste following URL and press Enter: http://beta.zend.com/studio-eclipse/updates-extra/9_0 .
This repository will be needed later, so don't select anything from here for now.
3) Install Ajax Tools Framework. They integrate Mozilla browser with Eclipse frameworks to let you inspect, analyze and debug extra information, that is not available in typical Mozilla-based browsers.
In "Work with" field, paste following URL and press Enter: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/atf/updates/0.3.0
After a second, you should see available software.
Choose all items.
Make sure that option "Contact all update sites..." is checked.
Press "Next" and "Finish" and wait until Eclipse downloads and installs all selected items. You will be asked to restart Eclipse.
4)After restarting, to start working with your new software, switch to Web Browser Tools perspective
To uninstall the current software extension or plugin from eclipse refer this :-

I'm building an extension for Firefox.
I've checked the javascripts and they work well.
I've tried to make all the modules of the extensions right. But every time I try to install the plug-in into my firefox it says "Impossible to Install.. the component is damaged".
I'm looking for an "extension debugger" that can find the error that makes my add-on not working. Any advise?
I was looking for a link to Firefox background page debugging.
I found this link to Firefox debugging.
It says to follow these steps:
open Firefox
enter "about:debugging" in the URL bar
check the box labelled "Enable add-on debugging"
click the "Debug" button next to your extension
click "OK" in the warning dialog.
I don't think there is a dedicated debugger for that. Look at this article, maybe it can help: http://blogger.ziesemer.com/2007/10/javascript-debugging-in-firefox.html

There are some debuggers for Firefox extensions, inparticular Venkman and Chromebug (which only works reliably with Firefox v5).
These will be able to break (pause code execution and launch debugger) when an exception occurs but don't usually help when you've got packaging problems, which are often caused by
Bad manifests - look though Mozilla's packaging documentation, in particular the format of manifests.
Errors in XML - validate all XML files (such as install.rdf).
Referenced files that are missing (e.g. a DTD referenced in the XML that is missing)
With the lack of tools, the best option is often to compare your extension's manifests and directory structure against a known good extension (e.g. an example Hello World extension, or an earlier version of your extension) as something as simple as a wrong entity in a DTD file can cause the error you are seeing.
Is this is a classic extension or the more recent bootstrapped type?
I would recommend to check the text encoding of install.rdf, chrome.manifest and bootstrap.js. Anything else than ANSI would be a cause of troubles.
I'm using VS2005, and have been for many years without problems, and 2003 before that.
Today suddenly, when I try and debug javascript on a site from the web, the debugger loads as normal but complains it can't find the source and offers me the chance to go looking for it. In the Script Explorer it shows all of the files loaded by the page, it just won't show me the source for them when I double-click on them.
I've tried resetting all settings to web-development default. Didn't work. I even tried exporting the settings from another machine (XP) I have with VS2005 on it that works fine. After importing to the faulty machine (on Win 7) it made no difference.
Any ideas?
Steps to recreate:
1. Open IE9, go to yahoo.com
2. Click View->External Script Debugger->Open
3. Once in the debugger it says cannot find source and offers me a dialog to help me find it on my local machine (why would it be there?).
4. In the Script Explorer I see all html and js files the page loaded, but upon double-clicking them, nothing happens. Usually it opens the source and you can set breakpoints.
Working config is on XP/IE8
Non-working config is on Win 7/IE9 but was working fine before today.
I just noticed a bizarre side-effect. The File menu in IE9 is greyed out during the debug session and even after I've closed VS. So freaky.
Well, no solution was found as to why VS2005 suddenly developed a lack of understanding as to how to get JavaScript source code for live sites. I uninstalled it and installed VS2010 instead and that's working just fine, on the same sites. Maybe re-installing VS2005 would have worked, but I'd had VS2010 around waiting to be installed for a while anyway, so two birds, one stone and all that.
It remains a mystery. No point anyone offering any further input now. The problem is history.
I am unable to debug at al in Chrome. I set it as my default broswer but when I try to debug, I see Connecting to 127.0.0.1:7930 in the Debugger window, but nothing happens (Chrome doesn't popup or anything). I have no idea how to trouble shoot this....any ideas?
If you are not familiar with, and believe me its worth checking out...another alternative is to use the Chrome developer Tools Built into the browser
You can debug javascript (add breakpoints and step into over, view variables), edit css and see your modifications in real time and save changes back to your file system. It also has a revision history for changes you make and you can revert back to any version! You can use use these Chrome developer tools in conjunction with the free Netbeans IDE where you can create your HTML, CSS & Javascript which has excellent code hinting / completion with Jquery support. You also add plugins to add more functionality.
Well I could not figure out how the heck to get Webstorm to debug with Chrome and their support is extremely limited. So as a workaround and what may be better because its free , is use Eclipse with Chrome Developer tools.
You are able to debug all the JavaScript files on your server and set breakpoints. I haven't stepped through while debugging, but this seems very promising. You could use Eclipse as well for the development of your corresponding HTML and css files or use in conjunction with Netbeans which is also free. Very straightforward if you are familiar with Eclipse already:
