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 [...]
October 7th is Lady Ada Lovelace Day. I’m going to mark it in my calendar. In my earlier years, I was always intrigued by the story of Charles Babbage’s Difference Engine, well before reading the steam-punk confection of the same name by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. Even more intriguing was the woman in the [...]
It’s that time of year again. My esteemed colleague Tim Taubert tagged me for a 7 Things meme post. I am going to take a partial cop-out like Dietrich since I’ve already done one of these a couple of years ago, and despite my best intentions, there haven’t been that many exciting new additions to [...]
This is so good, I thought I’d repost this instead of just firing it out to Twitter. Jan Odvarko and John Barton have been working hard on getting a Firebug extension together to track event listeners on DOM objects. The Firefox parts needed to make this work were tackled by Olli Pettay in heroic fashion. [...]
Last February I posted a write-up on how to automate uploads of screen captures to a web directory for sharing with others. The idea was inspired by the popular Grabup software (which Google has now added a malware warning to so I’m not linking to it). Since then OS X 10.6(.1) has been released upon [...]
The Firebug team released version 1.4.1 this week with a bunch of fixes large and small. Hans Hillen added a bunch of fixes for the a11y features, including improved Mac styling, some performance improvements and fixes to the CSS panel. John added a bunch of fixes around the activation mechanism, including a visual glitch that [...]
I found a cool little feature this morning while poking around in Firebug’s command line code. If you expand the Console’s command line to the large area (using the little up arrow on the right of the command line), you can enter a block of text, nicely formatted. This is probably not news to anyone. [...]
A colleague asked me how I stay on top of the constant surge of information produced by Mozilla and Firebug and whatever else I follow. The question was a good one in and of itself and I replied with my little list of things I read and said I might blog it, because it could [...]
As we close in on Firebug 1.4 to coincide with the release of Firefox 3.5, we have a chance to redo some of the icons that are in place. IRC user Templarian mocked up this design using the Silk icon set from FamFamFam. I think it looks pretty sweet. He’s also started a discussion on [...]
John B. uploaded Firebug 1.4a20 (xpi link, will ask to install in Firefox) to getfirebug.com/…/releases yesterday and I’ve been playing around with it today to see what was what. So far, it looks good. A couple of minor outlying things are still outstanding. Open in New Window from the status icon isn’t working yet — [...]
