I am debugging javascript in Firefox Aurora Developer Tools. I set a breakpoint in a javascript file, and refreshed the page, after which all my breakpoints went away.

How do I preserve breakpoints in Firefox developer tools when I refresh the page?

    What version of Firefox has this bug? – NoBugs Jul 25 '13 at 01:10
  • I'm having the same issue with 28.0a2 (2014-01-29) [nightly channel]. I've loaded up a profile with no extensions, and still see the same behavior. Breakpoints are listed in both places (line# under the file, and blue-dot inside of the file); black-box settings are honored. But breakpoints need to be manually set (or use the `debugger;` directive) after a refresh. PITA. – Michael Paulukonis Feb 06 '14 at 14:20

This sounds like a regression; breakpoints should stay active across page refreshes.

Can you share the code you are working with (or a minimal test case) and give some steps to reproduce the lost breakpoints?

The breakpoints stay highlighted across refreshes, but fail to break.. restarting firefox occasionally will let it work, but it's basically a bug. Been working with this all day, the breakpoints seem to be basically broken.

Firebug. But I'm not sure if it works properly with Aurora
