Flashbug has merged with FlashFirebug!
Well the big news can finally be revealed! Flashbug has officially merged with FlashFirebug. You may have seen the update in Firefox already. I felt it was a good move since I’ve had less and less time to maintain Flashbug and it would be simpler on the users. Please check out the latest version of FlashFirebug here. We originally anticipated it sooner but due to bugs and the review process things took a bit longer. Thanks for holding tight and I hope you enjoy the new extension!
Flashbug 1.8.5 posted to Mozilla
I’ve added another bug release to Mozilla. I was hoping to get to the big news before putting this out but been getting too many emails to ignore. This should fix things in the interim. Enjoy! (Please note it might be a while before Mozilla approves it and it shows up for download, be patient!)
Flashbug news upcoming…
Hello all, it’s been quiet on the blog side for quite a while. There will be some big news coming for Flashbug in the coming week or so. Stay tuned! I also plan on making some updates to .minerva whenever I get some free time. That’s a hard to come-by commodity these days but I do plan on coming back to that at some point. But after that I plan on starting a new project, maybe in something HTML??? Who knows

Flashbug interfering with FlashBuilder
Just wanted to get some visibility on this potentially confusing issue. The problem is that FlashBuilder refuses to publish and the root cause is Flashbug (or even FlashFirebug too). The actual problem is the use of PreloaderSWF in the mm.cfg file. Flashbug and FlashFirebug use this in order to inspect SWFs loaded in the browser. I’ve added to the FAQ a quick fix for Flashbug uses on the main Flashbug page. If you’ve run across this issue like this person did then please refer to the FAQ. Thanks

Flashbug news
Hello all,
It’s been sometime since my last post and to be honest my life have been quite hectic and busy. So updates to my apps and flashbug have slowed down quite a bit. I have a big update coming for Flashbug which when i started was targeted for Firebug 1.7. I’m aiming to release it still targetting 1.7 and at a later date updating it for 1.8. Firebug 1.8 changed how plug-ins work so Flashbug has some issues working with it right now, but I just want to get Flashbug 1.8 out the door so i can get on to those issues.
I’ve also gotten (over the past months) a lot of email about traces and errors showing up, and the common issue stems from their use of Flashfirebug. Flashfirebug completely rewrites the mm.cfg file and screws up Flashbug. You cannot use both plugins at the same time becuase of this. If your mm.cfg file is screwed up, just open Flashbug’s preference window and hit ok and this will rewrite it again according to Flashbug. Flashbug 1.8 has a lot of the same functionality as Flashfirebug which is why i’m working hard to get it out the door. So hopefully in the future this will be a moot point. Thanks again for your interest in Flashbug!
