How to deploy the extension of Firebug Lite? - deployment

Question

On the Firebug Lite website there is information on how to write an extension for Firebug Lite, but it doesn't say how to deploy that extension.
I read that deploying an extension for Firebug is like installing a plugin in Firefox. Is it gonna be the same for an extension of Firebug Lite?

Answer 1

You should be able to extend Firebug Lite by simply including your script on the page as shown on the Firebug Lite website:
Firebug.extend(function(FBL) { with (FBL) {
// ***********************************************************************
function PluginPanel(){};
PluginPanel.prototype = extend(Firebug.Panel,
{
name: "Plugin",
title: "Plugin",
initialize: function(){
Firebug.Panel.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
this.panelNode.innerHTML = "Hello World!";
}
});
Firebug.registerPanel(PluginPanel);
// ***********************************************************************
}});
To include your extension the code needs to be executed after Firebug Lite is loaded. E.g. this can be done by saving the code above into a file and include it via a <script> tag after including Firebug Lite:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://getfirebug.com/firebug-lite.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="my-firebug-lite-extension.js"></script>
