TARFU Intrusive Javascript Debugger Breaks Inspection

more options

Firefox Developer Edition has turned into a mess. Support continues to ignore the fact that Developer Tools are FUBAR and the Javascript Debugger has a mind of its own.

  • While Inspecting elements in a page refreshing the page will cause Developer Tools to switch to the Javascript debugger tab and start debugging any Javascript loaded by the page. Returning to the Inspector tab pauses the Debugger but disables further inspection that requires any click events on page elements.
  • When Inspecting and clicking on an element in the page Developer Tools switches to the Javascript debugger tab and starts debugging any Javascript that may be loaded in the page.

Probably not a lot of Developer Edition users among the support volunteers on this site. Have you tried:

https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/devtools

(For the record, I've never noticed the debugger starting automatically when I reload a page with other DevTools panels open in the releases I've used.)

Thanks for the resource I'm going there this morning. Its good for you that this doesn't happen for you as it implies there's something on my configuration that can be changed.

Anybody else that may have experience with Firefox Developer Edition v59 (and earlier)...
