How do I clear all Firebug JS breakpoints?

Question

I seem to have a strange Firefox/Firebug issue where Firebug is suspending JS due to invisible/corrupt breakpoints. (Firefox 3.6.17, Firebug 1.7.2) This may or may not be related to jQuery (version unknown).

Since Firebug keeps a persistent list of set breakpoints, is there a way to clear out everything firebug might be remembering? I tried to reinstall Firebug, but that did not seem to help.

I have tried searching for the issue but of course a search for "firebug breakpoints" returns thousands of tutorials on how to use firebug breakpoints.

Answer 6

I was experiencing a similar situation on newer Debugger Tools versions.

In my case, the files remained opened without any breakpoints on them. If I closed the tabs of these files, they would reopen automatically upon reloading the page.

After reloading, the debugger would still show no breakpoints on these files, or even the option to remove/disable breakpoints, as mentioned in @AjayR 's answer.

SOLUTION :

The solution I found was manually going to each opened file tab and placing a breakpoint on any line. After that, going to the " Breakpoints " section of the debugger and clicking the " Remove all breakpoints ".

I am leaving this solution as I have searched a bunch but no other source on the web provides this solution.
