I use Thunderbird as newsreader and when subscribing to newsgroups I can just search for "html" or "javascript" - no need to know the precise name of a newsgroup. > However,using the baby bird (goo-gull) i found Firebug which LOOKS > like it would do what i want. > BUT. > Cannot follow the damn directions as there is NO grey firebug to > click on. > Have no clue as to if it actually installed, etc. > So, at this point it is totally useless. > Useful comments? Dunno. Is Firebug listet under your installed extensions? Have you restarted FF? Firebug has been working here for years without any problems. Hit F12 this should also trigger Firebug.
