Make sure you have the latest version of both Firebug and FirePHP extensions. Recently, there has been some setback with the latest Firebug and older FirePHP (and yes, FirePHP requires both including PHP on the server and installing the extension on the fox). Include fb.php , do ob_start() , compose your own variable, and then
fb($myErrorVariable, 'My brand new error', FirePHP::ERROR);
You should see the output both in the Firebug console and under the Net tab (open the first line relative to your script and the "Server" tab).
