To implement FlashTracer, head to the following address and be sure you have the latest file. http://www.sephiroth.it/firefox/flashtracer/ . Install it and restart the browser.

Head over to adobe and get the latest flash debugger. Download and install the firefox version as FlashTracer is a firefox addition.

Now that firefox has the latest flash debugger and flash tracer we need to locate mm.cfg

Location on PC: C:\Documents and Settings\username

Inside of mm.cfg should be:

ErrorReportingEnable=1
TraceOutputFileEnable=1
MaxWarnings=100 //Change to your own liking.

Once that is saved, open firefox, head to the flash tracer window by heading to tools > flash tracer. In the panel that pops up there is two icons in the bottom right corner, click the wrench and make sure the path is set to where your log file is being saved. Also check to see that flash tracer is turned on, there is a play/pause button at the bottom.

I currently use this implementation and hope that it works for you. Flash Tracer is a little old, but works with the newest versions of FireFox. I am using it with FireFox 3.0.10.
