#14644 — How to use Firebug

Newbie here again: 

On http://getfirebug.com/javascript  Frrebug says one can 
"Pause execution on any line

Firebug allows you to set breakpoints, which tell the debugger to
pause execution when it reaches a specific line. While execution is
pause, you can see the value of any variable and inspect objects while
time is frozen.

To set breakpoints, just click on any line number, and a red dot will
appear to indicate that the breakpoint is set. Click the red dot again
to remove the breakpoint."

But I can't find the listing of the webpage that has the line numbers
on it, or any way to click and set a red dot or a break point.    

I'm doing my editing of html and Javascript with EditPad Lite, a big
brother of Notepad. 

Thanks for any help.

Activate the "Script" tab (and reload the page), choose the script you 
want to debug from the dropdown, set your breakpoints.

Ah, I had tried the Script tab, but when it said there were no
javascript statements.  This time it didn't say that.
