'Display CSS information' not working in 1.5

I have DOM Inspector installed, I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that it's an extension now.  I get this error:

Error: Component returned failure code: 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]
Source file: chrome://webdeveloper/content/css.js
Line: 537

Re: 'Display CSS information' not working in 1.5

I assume you mean the 'View Style Information' feature as there is no 'Display CSS Information' feature.

This error occurs if the DOM Inspector is not installed correctly. I would suggest trying to reinstall the DOM Inspector - probably by reinstalling Firefox 1.5.

Otherwise I don't know why your DOM Inspector would be returning a failure code.

I've noticed the same issue (with CSS, View Style Information), which has happened to me since I installed the 0.9.x beta on Firefox 1.5.  The same behavior exists when I "upgraded" to version 1.0 of the extension.  I don't notice any errors, it simply doesn't work.

Using both Firefox's internal JavaScript console and Venkman, I cannot see any errors or exceptions when trying to use this function.  I can use the DOM Inspector by itself without any problems (it was installed as a part of Firefox, not an extension).  I've tried removing the extension, removing any leftover related about:config settings, and everything else I can think of with the exception of creating a new profile (time permitting, I might be able to do that later today or tomorrow).

I found this to be a very helpful function when trying to develop/debug, and have been disappointed that it still doesn't work for me even after installing the latest stable release.

My only suggestion would be to try the things suggested in this other topic:

I don't know why the DOM Inspector is not working for you, so I can only suggest trying it with a clean profile.

Re: 'Display CSS information' not working in 1.5

Hi, I' back with the same problem, this time on the 1.0 version : "view style information" doesn't show any information", only the crosshair cursor appear...

I uninstall the DOM inspector 1.8 extension (which come with FF 1.5fr), restart FF, strangely "view style information" is not greyed out...

So I reinstall  FF 1.5fr, with no noticeable change. DOM inspector 1.8 extension reappears and works properly...

Is it a problem linked to the fact that non-english versions are shipped with a DOM inspector extension instead of built-in one ?

Any solutions are welcomed.

Thanks

PS: I nearly forgot to tell how pleased I'm by this extension : "Chris you did a great job, thanks"
