firefox firebug vs gmail = application not responding

27 July 2008

Firebug by default is disabled for all sites and you enable it site by site, which is very good.

If you accidentally enable scripting debugging for gmail, you cannot get into gmail at all or Firebug/Firefox will lock up, the CPU will spike high and you have to force quit.

Since you can't get in, you can't re-disable scripting-debugging for mail.google.com

I installed firebug 1.2.0b7 which has a new sites menu that let's you add and remove sites without going to the site. So I could add mail.google.com as disabled and all is working once again.

I suppose I could also have disabled firebug, logged out of gmail, then renabled firebug, go to mail.google.com which would then be the log in page, not the full-on ajax frenzy that causes the crashing. Then I could safely disable firebug-scripting.

    • django has two classes called ValidationError

      There is one in django.core.exceptions and one in django.forms.util Using that space age IDE Eclipse I have to say I'm enjoying how much time I've saved just going shift-command-O to organize and resolve all of my imports.  But today I've just lost a few hours due to my ok-ing the wrong class. Quite mysterious it was, I raised a ValidationError (core exceptions one) in my form's clean() and watched as the try: except ValidationError: in django's full_clean() completely ignored my ...

    • installing MySQLdb on Ubuntu (mysql-python)

      MySQLdb is the python support bindings for MySQL.  Not that the name would lead you to beleive that. Its sourceforge page calls it http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/ which makes more sense. you need setuptools, which you usually already have:     sudo aptitude install python-setuptools You need MySQL-devel to compile, but its not called that, its called: libmysql++-dev on Ubuntu     sudo apt-get install libmysql++-dev download MySQLdb itself from:     http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/     # the version you download will be more recent     tar xfz ...
