Why does firebug disappear on page refresh?

Hope I can get some help here.

I am using latest version of firefox and firebug. I want to watch network activity when I reload a page and view my site. But as soon as I reload then firebug disappears. Is there a way to pin it. Why does it go from view.

It sounds like you're asking how to keep the Net Panel from being cleared when the page is refreshed or reloaded.

You should see a Persist option on the Net Panel toolbar - enable it to persist the data across page reloads.

Firebug Net Panel Persist Across Page Reloads

If the problem really is that Firebug just disappears then the cause might be one of the following:

  1. Firefox's "Never Remember History" (under Tools > Options > Privacy) - tracking history should be enabled. This is equivalent to "Private Browsing" mode and so if you're in that mode, you'll see the same problem.
  2. Firebug extensions can cause issues - for example, an older version of Firecookie.
  3. If the page URL changes, then you'll need to make sure that Firebug is enabled for all pages.
