getfirebug.com has new Firebug 1.7a9 + Chromebug 1.7.0a9 with 16 issues fixed. Among other things, this version fixes an annoying bug that breaks Firebug panel switching (in case your browser window is maximized and you have tabs on top). Thanks to Sebastian Zartner who created a patch for this!

There are still two Firefox bugs that prevent Firebug from working properly. The break on next error is broken (bug626909) and also JSD activation is not as steady as it should be (bug626830). Anyway, awesome Steve Fink is working on those and they will be fixed soon!

This release also contains a fresh new improvement for the inspector. Mike Ratcliffe enabled inspector frame to bend with -moz-border-radius – supported in Firefox 4.0 (issue 3901).

We have also improved visual presentation of a feature that allows to filter list of scripts in the Script panel (issue 3940). See more about this neat function.

As usual, let us know how this version work for you. And of course if you see any problem please create a report and we’ll fix it!

getfirebug.com has new Firebug 1.7a8 + Chromebug 1.7.0a8 with 28 issues fixed. Since several important bugs have been also fixed in the platform, this build represents the first version that is pretty usable with Firefox 4. You need to use Firefox 4.0b10pre nightly build or wait for final beta 10.

Following bugs yet need to be fixed in Firefox:

• Bug 620486 – A wrapper related problem, there is several tests that fails due to this bug.
• Bug 623351 – This one prevents us from running Firebug test suite automatically.

Some highlights from this release:

• CSS panel is now displaying @font-face rules, issue 2748
• Firebug shortcuts can be removed, issue 3664 + there are new shortcuts for text size commands, issue 3668
• Better visual presentation of element attributes in DOM panel, issue 3790
• Pressing F1 opens a help page, issue 3839 (of course Firebug UI must be opened and focused to execute this keystroke).
• Inspector improved, issue 3861 and 3883

Give it a try and let us know if anything doesn’t work for you!

Firebug 1.6.1 is also uploaded on AMO, but it could take some time to appear – since it must go through the regular review process (yes, this is new). We hope for quick reviews so, there is not a delay for the end user (sure you can always install from getfirebug.com).
