How do I clear all Firebug JS breakpoints?

Question

I seem to have a strange Firefox/Firebug issue where Firebug is suspending JS due to invisible/corrupt breakpoints. (Firefox 3.6.17, Firebug 1.7.2) This may or may not be related to jQuery (version unknown).

Since Firebug keeps a persistent list of set breakpoints, is there a way to clear out everything firebug might be remembering? I tried to reinstall Firebug, but that did not seem to help.

I have tried searching for the issue but of course a search for "firebug breakpoints" returns thousands of tutorials on how to use firebug breakpoints.

Solution 1

1. Under the Firefox profile folder, find the firebug folder.

2. Make sure that Firefox is closed.

3. Edit or delete breakpoints.json as desired.

Solution 2

Open the web site where you want to clear the breakpoints, Open Firebug or press F12. from the right panel, you should see Watch, Stack and Breakpoints, Click on breakpoints dropdown and click on

Solution 3

If you can't find the Library/Mozilla folder on Mac. Its because its hidden. To unhide Open terminal and run this

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

You should be able to find it folder now

To unhide run this

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE

I recon an easy way: In firebug toolbar click the bug icon and follow reset all firebug options:

This only clears out 1 page's breakpoints. The OP seemed to be asking to clear ALL breakpoints -- which is a good idea, as Firebug's files retain junk long after it is needed/relevant.

Yes it is for only selected website as mentioned in my answer, Adams response is the solution for this question.

This is the only correct answer as firebug will sometimes continue to break on a line of code after you've removed all breakpoints.

Even though it clears all the breakpoints, but the firebug still continues to break at different points. However, this worked for me: - Add a breakpoint on a line where it is stopped if there was no breakpoint for that line. - On 'Breakpoints' dropdown menu, select 'Disable all breakpoints'

Cleaning up this file made a very noticeable difference in page load times when debugging using Firebug. There were far more breakpoints than I expected to see in my JSON file that should have been removed long ago, but were lingering.
