I am developing with Firefox and Firebug, but in my environment if the js has the syntax error, the firefox will not report any error, it just stops there.

Then I have to use IE to reload the page, IE will report the error at the bottom left corner, and after clicking it I can see the line number of the js error.

I am wondering if I misconfigured something? I think at least firebug should report the error as IE does. But firebug displayed nothing.

The example code(show error in IE but normal in FF):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>
  body { color:blue; }
  </style>
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.4.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
    if (a < ) 0 {
    }

</script>

</body>
</html>
