getfirebug.com has released Firebug 1.5a22. The version fails three tests (console/1693 POST gets 500 from server, net/2221, non-english characters, and netPanelSearch).  I believe the first two are a config problem on getfirebug.com. I have no excuse for the third one other than it’s Friday afternoon and we’ve been trying to get this version out for a week.We’ll fix these and try to get another release early next week.

This version was tested on Firefox 3.5.2 and 3.7 nightly 20090828 using https://getfirebug.com/tests/content/testlists/firebug1.5.html.

• Issue 2220: Support On by default with Off by user control
  • Removes “Off for all Web Pages” status bar context menu option
  • Add Clear Activation List menu item
• Increase the target area of the minimize and maximize buttons; remove the “off” label.
• Issue 1466: Changing any User Agent CSS makes firefox go grazy and after a while crash
  • This fix just prevents the crash, still need UI to tell the user that the rules are not writable.
• Issue 2237: Net tab – round image size
• Issue 2230: Copy of Console should not include: Firebug’s log limit has been reached. %S entries not shown.
• Issue 2243: Feature request – ability to flag custom URLs and preprocess content for JSON parsing
• Issue 2175: Firebug lacks localization notes
• jsdIFilter chrome* urls when debugger enables
• Issue 83: Profiling Greasemonkey scripts
  • sandbox debug contribution by Olivier Cornu (support for greasemonkey)
• Allow FF 3.7 to run Firebug 1.5 (even if we eventually take it back)
• Issue 2221: POST variables disappear if they contain non-english characters
  • Note however that the test case for this is currently failing.
• fix CallStack selection highlight
• Issue 2254: Html Panel visual and editing problems
  • This contribution by sroussey fixes several problems, esp. around empty tags and editing.
• Issue 2256: toggleHeadersRow is called on wrong object (contribution by antonin.hildebrand,)
• Issue 1862: Enhancement :: create xml tab in request item of net tab
• Issue 2253: Http Resources are loading slowly when net panel is visible
• Issue 1861: Enhancement :: customize columns of netview
• Bug 512846 Serious performance issue with Firebug on gmail.com
  • This partly resolves issue  2187
• Issue 2210: Image Maps cannot be inspected since rolling back to older version
  
  • I think this actually went out with 1.5a21.
