jlhaslip Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 For the benefit of the Firefox users that are also using the HTML Validator, they "fixed" a bug that causes it to fail in Firefox 3.09. I was confused and befuddled when the Add-on crashed on me since a recent upgrade to ubuntu 9.04 and thought that the OS was failing, but it turns out to be Firefox's latest release that was causing the issue. That's what I get for upgraded both Firefox and Ubuntu on the same day without testing each one separately. Upgrades can be found here for all versions that the extension is available for. here The issue was crashing the Firefox browser when attempting to do a "view source". It seemed to only crash when there were errors or warnings on the page being inspected. Error/warning free pages worked fine. Quote
PicnicTutorials Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Hey Jim. Jim right? The new version of FX was crashing everytime I did a view source in the browser too (not just the html validator). I figured that would't take long to fix. Quote
jlhaslip Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Posted April 26, 2009 Yes, that is correct. Do you have the html validator installed as an Add-on? I think it works when you access a browser view source IF it is installed and without accessing the Icon for the html validator, and that would explain why the Browser view source was crashing. Excellent Add-on. Highly recommended, along with the Web Developer's Extension and Firebug. Those would be my selections for the three best FF Add-ons. Quote
PicnicTutorials Posted April 27, 2009 Report Posted April 27, 2009 Oh ya- I have all three. And (I think?) colorzilla and measure it. Quote
