I am facing this issue in FF ver. 24.0. I installed firebug version - 1.12.4 and installed the FirePath version 0.9.7. I am unable to see the FirePath tab in the Firebug panel when pressed F12. I tried to install Firebug version 1.11.4 and found the same issue. Could anyone let me know on how to enable this tab?

Thanks & Regards, Rashmi

Hi I am using firefox Version 51.0.1 and faced the similar issue. The property which I used to get back the Firepath and Firefinder under firebug is =

browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false

Steps:

  1. Open firefox
  2. Type about:config in the explorer
  3. click on the I uderstand button
  4. Now in the search box enter "browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2" (without quotes) and hit enter
  5. Set the value as false ( you need to click the property to toggle the values)
  6. close the firefox and open again
  7. Launch firebug ...Now you should see your fire path and firefinder back
