Firebug / Firebug-lite incompatibility: Firebug-lite initializes even on Firefox

[bill]

Posted description here but cross-referencing into this ticket since dojo has it's own version of firebug.

I'm seeing a lot of crashes with the latest Firebug and Firefox and trying to trace them down now. The first red flag I noticed is that Firebug-light is initializing on Firefox. (It should only initialize on IE/safari/etc.)

See the original firebug lite (first line) or our modified version (line 61) .... it branches on:

 if (!("console" in window) || !("firebug" in console)) { 

... the problem is that console.firebug is not defined (anymore?), even though firebug is installed and running.

OK, the newest firebug fixes this problem, so we don't need to do anything on our end.

This is occurring currently with Firebug 1.2 beta. Further discussion is here:

"The console implementation in Firebug 1.2 is different from 1.1. So any code that relies on the only mechanism needs to be reviewed."

(In [14337]) Fixes #6588 !strict Changed up the FB detection, based on whether the browser is FF or not. Couldn't test FB-1.1 because I couldn't download that version (getfirebug server problems).

Note, I didn't witness the problem in the ticket. It looks that FB-1.2 works with the old detection. I fixed it anyway.

Enabling Firebug Lite is different for FF3, now you disable Firebug, and Firebug Lite will install. isDebug turns it off. Backwards compatible for FF2

(In [14454]) Refs #6588 !strict - Added check for previous version of Firebug. Should work well now with Firebug 1 and 1.2 - 1.1 is a bad and hard to find coe base, and should probably just not be supported./nAlso did a serious of minor tweaks to make this a little more jslint friendly. A little.
