firebug is not breaking on breakpoints

[Alejandro Barrero]

I just installed firebug on firefox in Vista, but firebug is not breaking on breakpoints. Is there anything that i have to set up?

Please help

How are you sure that the code is being reached?

set breakpoint at start of script and check.

For example, I am using a javascript file like:

var caracterSeparador = "/";
2var diasEnMes = new makeArray0(31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31);
3
4function esFecha(laFecha) {
5 var posicion1 = laFecha.indexOf(caracterSeparador);
6 var posicion2 = laFecha.indexOf(caracterSeparador, posicion1 + 1);
7 ...

I put break points at 2 and 5 above, but it doesn't break when it executes. It does execute correctly, but I had to fix the problems with alert.

Sometimes it is better to use debugger; where you want it to break.

I used the keyword debugger at the end of one line in the js file and in a line by itself and still the break points don't work.
More confusing is that break points started to work for some reason, but after I closed firebug and reopened again they stopped working???
Is it possible that this is a Widows Vista thing?

As much as I would love to blame it on Vista, I can't be certain that it is. What version of FF are you using? Or are you doing this in IE?

Well, I like blaming vista for a lot of things too, but I think that vista has nothing to do with this at all.
