I've spent the last few weeks trying to integrate sametime dojo widgets into a portal theme and I used firebug extensively to debug my code. Dojo is difficult to debug because of the way it injects code using the requires function, everything shows up as an eval.
Firebug Extensions
I didn't know this, but there are quite a few firebug extensions out there, though none really for dojo. IBM has developed a dojo extension for use in their rational developer products, but since I use eclipse I was out of luck. Thankfully IBM has a history of participating in the open source community and appears to have contributed their code to the firebug community.
The code can be found at http://code.google.com/p/fbug/source/browse/#svn%2Fextensions%2Fdojofirebugextension
I downloaded from their SVN server and executed the build.xml, drag/dropped the resulting dojofirebugextension-1.0a6.xpi into firefox and now I have a nice dojo interface for firebug.
Thanks to Patricio Reyna Almandos and Fernando Gomez (IBM Argentina) for putting this together.
