I used it a number of years ago before I'd heard of firebug, and I couldn't get anything done. Breakpoints would be hit inconsistently and it was not exactly a user-friendly interface, but most infuriatingly the thing would freeze up constantly, locking all of firefox with it. Maybe it has improved since then, but my experience with firebug has been much better.
- flashgordon 18y agoactually it has improved (in terms of reliability) since then but the UI is still heavy and woeful... firebug is simple (though cant figure out how to debug firefox plugins (chrome) with it...
- smwhreyebelong 18y ago+1 I had similar experience with it a few years ago. Given that the laptops weren't as powerful back then, it was a big pain trying to debug using Venkman but that was the only decent debugger available then (that, and the "alerts") I heard that it didn't get a lot of attention from mozilla back then. Firbug wouldn't have existed if Venkman wasn't slow and had an easy-to-use UI.
