Firebug Console window presents no Command line (>>>>)

Hi,

I'm running Rails 2.3.5, Ruby 1.8.6, WinXP-Pro/SP3, Firefox 3.6.2, Firebug 1.5.3, MySQL 5.0.37-community-nt, Mongrel

I have a toy .html file displayed in Firefox. When I press F12, a window opens at the bottom of the screen with a menu bar offering Console, Html, etc.

The console tab presents a sub-menu: Clear, Persist, Profile that have tooltips working. Other than that, the Console pane is empty.

Documentation at http://michaelsync.net/2007/09/15/firebug-tutorial-commandline-api suggests I should see a textbox at the bottom prefixed with ">>>>".

What must I do to get an active textbox at the bottom of my Console pane?

Thanks in Advance, Richard

This topic hasn't garnered any interest, so I'm abandoning my attempts to fix the installed version and will re-install. So this thread is closed as far as I'm concerned.

lol, well not exactly rails related, but my guess is that it was in multi-line mode. you would see a textarea box to the right. You can type your console commands into that field the same as the single line.
