Symptoms

JIRA Agile is performing badly on a particular web browser with Firebug installed. You don't see the same problems on other machines.

Cause

JIRA Agile makes heavy use of Javascript, so if you have Firebug enabled, you might see some performance issues.

Resolution

We recommend that you disable Firebug when using JIRA Agile, as Firebug can make JIRA Agile run slowly.

Windows or Linux Users

Firebug 1.4 automatically disabled

If you are using Firebug 1.4, you will not need to explicitly disable it as it only enables when the Firebug icon is orange (i.e. when it is actively analysing a page).

To disable Firebug:

  1. Click the green or red icon in the bottom right corner of the browser window to open Firebug.
  2. Click the bug icon in the top left corner of Firebug and select Disable Firebug for http://your-jira-url

If you'd like to keep Firebug running, you may improve JIRA Agile performance by following these steps:

  1. Click the green or red icon in the bottom right corner of the browser window to open Firebug.
  2. Click the Console tab.
  3. Select Options.
  4. Uncheck Show XMLHttpRequests.
  5. Click the Net tab.
  6. Select Options.
  7. Check Disable Network Monitoring.

Mac Users

To disable Firebug:

  1. Click the green or red icon in the bottom right corner of the browser window to open Firebug.
  2. Click the bug icon in the top left corner of Firebug and select Disable Firebug for http://your-jira-url
