FireQuery now works also with 1.3. I've backported it recently.

I maintain four addons built on top of Firebug (www.binaryage.com). It is very difficult for me to keep things working for different Firefox and Firebug versions. Especially when firebug authors are changing internals and extension points with almost every new version. And then come some people on mozilla addons and downvote my addons because they are not working for them when they first try. They even don't try to test different Firebug/Firefox versions, they just complain.

Maybe Firebug authors have same feelings about us Firebug users, or on the other hand about Firefox developers who are probably making their lives harder. I don't know. The true is that I've seen lot of criticism about broken Firebug since version 1.2



Its really a great addon, hats off to you. I use the data() method frequently, and FireQuery is invaluable for that. Great to know I can use it with Firebug 1.3 as well.

I'd imagine its tedious to maintain compatibility with each successive version, much less several at once. From an end user, please know that your hard work is appreciated.


sorry for being dense, but i just tried for 15 minutes to figure out how to use firequery without success. is there a firequery tutorial for dummies?


there is probably no firequery tutorial, I thought screenshots are self-explanatory. You can try FireQuery on this test file: http://github.com/darwin/firequery/blob/master/test/index.ht...


thanks, i think i got it now. i've not used the data function before
