A couple of years ago, I made a simple addon to remove the icons from bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox. It was a fun hack, but I knew then that it wasn’t the right way to do this. Nevertheless, easy is the enemy of perfect (or something) so I kept on using it, [...]
Last week we got the whole DevTools group together in beautiful, sunny London England to hang out and hack on a few things. Sunny? Yeah, unexpected, but made for some great picture taking. At the risk of saturating Planet with developer tools-related updates, there was some pretty magical stuff happening. Our own Debugger task force [...]
For Panagiotis’ outstanding contributions on the newly-landed Debugger front-end, we’re making him a peer. Congratulations, past! May all your reviews be delicious.
Some time ago, way back in the heady days of Firefox 7, Mihai Șucan began work to incorporate the Orion text editor into our codebase and landed it in Firefox 8. At the time, we had some concerns around accessibility and localization: would Orion be up to the task of being an in-browser editor for the [...]
With the Page Inspector landed for Firefox 10 (currently in Beta), we’re adding to it with a couple of exciting new features for Firefox 11 (now on Aurora). The first of these features is somewhat complementary to the Page Inspector and lives in its own window. The Style Editor is the hard work of Cedric [...]
Congratulations to Paul Rouget and Joe Walker! In recognition of your outstanding contributions, you are now full-fledged peers of the Firefox DevTools module. May your review queues be filled with outstanding patches of awesomeness.
If you’re on Nightly, you may wonder what happened to the keyboard shortcut for the Web Console on OS X. It moved and is now on Cmd+Opt+K. That happened with a patch to move the Page Inspector to Cmd+Opt+I in bug 689924. We had a bug to add the original keybinding back, but for several [...]
Hey! There’s some hot new stuff in Nightlies you might not be aware of. It’s called the Style Editor and, as it says on the tin, it’s for editing CSS of your web page. You can find it in the Web Developer menu. “But, you can already do that with the Rule View in the [...]
While our valiant IT support gods struggle with our recent outages, you can reach me here via comments (I won’t post private messages) or on twitter @robcee. If, y’know, you need me for anything.
We landed a new feature in Aurora(10) this past week. It’s kind of a big deal. It represents the culmination of nearly 2 years of evolution and iteration and eventually became the focus of most of the Firefox Developer Tools team. I believe there are contributions to the Inspector (or Highlighter as we call it [...]
