Description of problem: It§s not possible to use Venkman JavaScript Debugger witk rpm version of firefox. (JS Debugger extension). It's a bad thing this extension is here not only for Mozilla developers but for web developers too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: install JS Debugger extension ant try to run it from 'Tools' menu instal from https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&os=Windows&category=Developer%20Tools&numpg=10&id=216 Steps to Reproduce: 1. instal from https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&os=Windows&category=Developer%20Tools&numpg=10&id=216 2. Run debugger from Tools menu 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: this is due to following line in mozilla-firefox ac_add_options --disable-jsd Venkman needs internal JS engine enabled for debugging. If I comment this line out all works fine. I believe OS distro should support web developers ;-)
I totally concur. I used the Mozilla package, which I think includes Venkman in the debugger package, and it works fine, but not in Firefox. I put myself on a mini-mission this morning to fix this issue so that I can remove Mozilla and just use Firefox, and I read at http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/venkman that --disable-jsd breaks Venkman. Removing the "ac_add_options --disable-jsd" line is totally okay by me. I'm actually going to custom-compile my own RPM now and, hopefully, a future version of the package from Fedora will include this change as well.
As a follow-up, I'm confirming that changing --disable-jsd to --enable-jsd in mozconfig-firefox made it work properly. I tested this with firefox-1.0-8 from rawhide.
Fixed in rawhide.
