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 [...]

Even more intriguing was the woman in the [...]
Orion is now the default editor in Scratchpad in Nightlies (as of today, August 18, 2011). You can revert to the textarea-based editor by changing devtools.editor.component to textarea. If you do, please tell us why you did that! Thanks.
I put together another build this weekend with some of our in-progress patches. I left out a few features that weren’t specifically for the Highlighter that were in the previous version (Orion in Scratchpad, the Style Editor to name two). You can download the build for your platform here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-devtools/. For this build, we wanted [...]
(Crossposted to dev.apps.firefox and the DevTools blog) Hi, I have a present for you. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-devtools/ If you go there and download the version for your operating system, you can get a sneak preview of what we’ve been working on in the Developer Tools group. It is a little rough around the edges still as it’s [...]
