Firebug debug jumps/breaks on non-existing breakpoint!

Question

So I have this page with a bunch of jQuery functions. I have no breakpoints at all but Firebug always breaks/jumps to a JS function like there is a breakpoint but there isn't!!!

Its also breaks some JS in the page (not everything). I mean, I hit 'play' or 'F8' a couple of times to continue/stop debugging but then some JS functions does not work anymore. Everything works fine when Firebug is turned off.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.13 with Firebug 1.6.2.

Any idea why its happening and how to fix it??

Answer 1

What worked for me (on FireFox v18.0.1 w/ FireBug v1.11.1) was to reset all FireBug options: FireBug menu -> Options -> Reset All Firebug Options. I didn't figure out which exact option was causing the problem.

Answer 2

I've ran into this issue where I run into a breakpoint and it doesn't even show up in the breakpoints tab.

One thing I've found that works is to create an actual breakpoint on the line where firebug is breaking, and then manually disable it with the checkbox on the breakpoints tab.

In my experience this has stopped firebug from randomly breaking on those lines.
