Details

When trying to run the JavaScript Debugger add-on in Firefox 4.0b7 or later, I get the following exception:

An exception occurred while initializing, please file a bug.
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) [jsdIDebuggerService.on]"  nsresult: "0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://venkman/content/venkman-debugger.js :: initDebugger :: line 131"  data: no]


The add-on is calling the jsdIDebuggerService.on method, but that method is no longer supported according to the IDL file, http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/js/jsd/idl/jsdIDebuggerService.idl#221

The asyncOn method must be called instead of the on method.  So basically it never turns the debugger service on so it doesn't work.  

The change to the debugger service was made back in October by bug 595243.
