Use URL about:config to set
extensions.logging.enabled true
Open Firefox > Tools > Error Console.

Try to install again.

Or use the hints on
Installing in a clean Profile
in http://groups.google.com/group/firebug/web/faq-about-firebug
and try to install in a clean profile.

I'm having the exact same problems.
Tried to install Firebug 1.2.0b6 on FireFox 3.0.1, but it just keeps
disappearing when I restart FireFox in order to install Firebug.
Also created a new, clean profile, but i'm still having the same
problem.

true?

Hello, sorry but I'm not so experienced of using firebug and FF
futures, so I don't know how to set extension.logging to true, if you
explain how can I do that I will post "error consol" error.

Hi, just type about:config into the adress bar of your FF
the exact name of the line to find is extensions.logging.enabled,
right click and switch the false/true

(it's also explained here:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Setting_up_extension_development_environment#Development_preferences)

two messages I got no errors.
* Install Location returned a missing or malformed item path! Item
Path: C:\Users\Mantas\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
\zr7m5app.default\extensions\firebug@..., Location
Key: app-profile Item ID: firebug@...

*  ExtensionManager:_finishOperations - failure, catching exception -
lineno: 4862 - file: file:///c:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js
- TypeError: entries[i] is null

evry other warning seems to be only from the page content (css).
