I have just tried the client side javascript debugger under Ubuntu 8.04 with Firefox 3.0b (release candidate). Netbeans promoted to install the firefox plugin and that installed fine. Restart Firefox, however when I launch the debug session the firefox window sits on "NetBeans JavaScript Debugger Launching. Please wait..." and never goes any further.

I think the plugin is supported only on Firefox 2.x, but I could be wrong.

I think that's true; I think that (for now) you need
Firefox 2.x
Firebug 1.1 (beta?)

This is correct. The debugging APIs of Firefox 3 as well as Firebug 1.2 which goes with it are not very stable yet. Therefore for NetBeans 6.5 (Sep/Oct) timeframe we are going to support

Firefox 2.x
Firebug 1.1 beta12

combination.

Hi Sandip,

That's a pity as FireFox 3 was just released and a lots (I mean a lot) will upgrade to FireFox 3 pretty quickly. I suggest adding the firefox supported version checks to the XPI to prevent confusion. I have logged an issue:

http://ruby.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=137505

I will test under FireFox 2.

Cheers,

Anthony
