firebug not running javascript

Question

so I typed:

alert('wtf');

into the firebug console and hit run

However instead of having the browser, alerting 'wtf', the console instead prints

>>> alert('wtf');

how do I go about making the console actually run javascript instead of just regurgitating my commands..

Answer 1

i had same issue and remove firebug plug-in restart firefox and reinstall firebug solve the issue for me.
