Programmatically stop Javascript execution in FireFox/FireBug



I am currently debugging complex Javascript/AJAX code written with mootools with FireBug. I am looking for a way to stop the JS execution as if it was a breakpoint programmatically.





Ex:







instructions ...

degugger.breakpoint(); // the execution stops here as if a breakpoint was

// manually set

other instructions ...







any idea?

  1. In Firefox, IE, Safari and Chrome (not Opera) you can set the debugger directive.

    // your JS code
    ...
    // break here
    debugger;


    This is extremely useful with Firebug.

  2. you can debug using firebug
    just open the script tab and blick on the line where you want the execution to stop

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
