The other day I upgraded my Firebug to the newest version. Shortly after I was required to debug some CSS and was going to use my favorite too Firebug when it seemed to have a glitch.

I would attempt to inspect an element as I normally do. I would click on an anchor tag, but the HTML tab would not go to the appropriate place in the code.

I first dismissed the problem as a temporary bug, and restarted the browser to try again to only have the same problem.

Update Firebug Extensions

I then found the solution on the firebug blog. It turns out your extensions had to be updated.

I then went to my addons dialog in Firefox and clicked find updates, only to find out they were all updated (or so it seemed).

I then read the blog a little more and found out “FireQuery” doesn’t auto update properly, so you have to download the newest version manually.

Solution: Download Newest FireQuery

Download Version 0.5 Here and it should solve your problems!

Any other bugs with Firebug 1.5… let me know in the comments.
