They only show up when the correct designer is active. The toolbox
will in future be used for other designer, and for text snippets.

When you're using the designer, you have ASP.NET web controls on the
design surface. You'll recognise the issue if you see it :)

I'm not sure if the problem was fixed before 1.1.17.1 was released or not.

Nope, the visual designer has not been officially released, and is
only available by building MonoDevelop from source.

Since you have both Mozilla and Firefox, it is possible that the
Monodevelop startup script will detect and use a different Mozilla
runtime to the one against which which JSCall# was built.
Unfortunately, AspNetEdit will only work if MD uses the same runtime
as JSCall#. You can force the Mozilla runtime with "export
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla" (or wherever Mozilla or Firefox is
installed).

Do you have XSP installed? I really need to do runtime detectection of this...
