Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 255523

(Other Applications Graveyard :: Venkman JS Debugger, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050412 Firefox/1.0.2

(This may considered be a duplicate of bug #255523, but that bug is classified
as a general firefox bug and its summary references older versions of Firefox
and Venkman. It's happening with the latest releases as of this writing, so I
feel the summary should at least be different. Apologies if I've gone about this
the wrong way.)

I get an error launching Venkman 0.9.85 on BSD with Firefox 1.0.2 (Mozilla/5.0
(X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050412 Firefox/1.0.2)

After clicking OK, Venkman launches with a toolbar and a blank pane underneath
(and doesn't work at all)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install venkman 0.9.85 .xpi
2. close mozilla, re-launch mozilla
3. select Javascript Debugger from Tools menu

Actual Results:  
Javascript error dialog pops up:

-----------
An Exception occured while initalizing, please file a bug.

BadMojo 4: JS Debugger Service is not installed @
<chrome://venkman/content/venkman-debugger.js> line 126 (initDebugger)
-----------

After clicking OK, Venkman launches with a toolbar and a blank pane underneath
(and doesn't work)

Expected Results:  
Launch the JavaScript debugger without errors into a usable state

I launched Firefox as root to install the .xpi && was root when I re-launched
Firefox to try the debugger out.

I observe the same error on Mozilla 1.7.6 on BSD

Sounds like the FreeBSD build of mozilla is missing libjsd.so.  Check the
components directory if your mozilla/firefox install.

If it's missing, that'd be a problem with the distribution and not Venkman itself.
