Firebug is free and open source software distributed under the BSD License.
Structure of the extension follows Jetpack standards.

- Get JPM:
git clone https://github.com/mozilla/jpm
(CFX is not supported anymore) - Switch to the JPM folder and install and link it via
npm install
andnpm link
. (Also needs to be done after fetching the latest changes to the JPM repo.) - Get the Firebug.next repo:
git clone https://github.com/firebug/firebug.next
- (Optional) Install FBTrace in your Firefox dev profile
- Run
jpm run -b <file path to your Firefox binary>
in the Firebug.next directory to launch Firefox (you need Firefox Nightly build at the moment), which automatically creates a clean profile. If you wish to run it with an existing profile (e.g. to include FBTrace), first create a new profile via the Profile Manager, and then runjpm run -b <file path to your Firefox binary> -p <path to your Firefox profile (needs to start with /)>
.
Run Firebug with Firefox Nightly on OSX:
jpm run -b /Applications/FirefoxNightly.app
Run Firebug with local installation of Add-on SDK (git clone https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk):
jpm run -o <path to Add-on SDK> -b <file path to your Firefox binary>
Build Firebug .xpi
file for deployment and installation:
jpm xpi
Run Firebug test suite:
jpm test
Running tests requires some external modules, you need to download and install them:
npm install
