Venkman JS Debugger for Firefox 1.5

Submitted by mikehostetler on Wed, 11/30/2005 - 08:36

Like most other responsible web users I went and downloaded the brand spanking new Firefox 1.5 yesturday. Whenever I download an install a new version of Firefox, I have to reload all my extensions. This can be a tremendous pain because of version incompatibilities.

My saving grace is that I know that most of the extensions will come out with versions compatible with Firefox 1.5 in the near future. When I say most, I mean all except the Venkman Javascript Debugger.

The Venkman Javascript Debugger is a beautiful piece of code that literally enables me to act like a wizard of AJAX. People who are not aware of Venkman are dazzled by how fast I can debug a piece of javascript and subsequently pay me money to do so.

When Venkman didn't work for Firefox 1.5, I quickly started hacking and have produced an UNOFFICIAL version that does. It's linked below.
