How to dock Firebug in browser window?

Question

How to dock Firebug in browser window after I opened in a new window? With Firefox 3.0.8 and Firebug 1.3 on Mac OS X 10.5 I can't get it docked in the browser window back. :(

Answer 1

How to fix the problem

Background: firefox 10.0.10

Steps: Close Firebug if you have it open -> Go to Firefox menu -> select the "Web developer" option -> select "Firebug" from all the options listed -> Select "Firebug UI location" from all the options -> Choose Top, Button, Left or Right depending on your preference.

This should fix your problem. The "Firebug UI location" in the detached Firebug window doesn't work.

Answer 2

Normally you just close the window. When you open Firebug again, it will be docked.

While I was trying to figure this out, I clicked on the bug in the top left corner, while Firebug was open and docked, and selected "Always Open In New Window." Then I had the same problem.

To disable that option while Firebug is open as a Window, select View (in the OS X menu at the top of the screen while the Firebug window is in the foreground) > Options > Always Open In New Window.
