There has been no blogging recently. There hasn’t been time. We have a browser to ship. There are features to build. There is code to write. The Inspector still has a bunch of pieces to land and we’re hoping to get the major ones into Beta 5 this week. We’ve got some neat stuff coming [...]
The first iteration of the Inspector’s style panel has landed! It’s pretty basic right now and we’re going to be beefing it up and adding to it in the hopefully very near future. What it shows right now is a list of all CSS properties for the selected (highlighted) element in a web-page. It will [...]
This week I put some more finishing touches on the Style Panel patch and the DOM Panel, which should be ready for landing this week to squeak into the first Beta of Firefox 4. While doing that, I rebased my patches for the new tree panel and fired off a try build for you to [...]
Last week I managed to get the Inspector’s new tree panel working locally. It was a good chunk of work, incorporating about 2000 lines of DOMPlate, converted to a new JavaScript Code Module and another 1000 or so lines of JavaScript and CSS from Firebug. This morning I finished up the styling fixes for Windows [...]
Last week I promised to write a blog post to talk about why Mozilla’s building an inspector into Firefox. This is that blog post, and I also hope to explain a bit about the direction we’re taking with it and to ask all of you for feedback on what you’d like to see it do. [...]
A couple of months ago, I started working on a new feature for Firefox, the first part of which landed last night and is in today’s nightly. It’s pretty rough-looking still, but over the next few days and weeks we’ll be landing new features as they’re written and struggle through the review process. There are [...]
I was asked this morning if “Lorentz was trunk”. Or a branch of trunk. Or something. So I decided to draw a little picture. Electrolysis (e10s) feeds patches to Mozilla-Central (trunk or Minefield). Lorentz branch split off of 3.6. Lorentz pulled some of the Electrolysis patches from Mozilla-Central. Lorentz merged back into 3.6 (and was [...]
A couple of weeks ago I came across a reference to Mac Optimized Builds of Firefox. There’s a long tradition of community-based builds of Firefox for the Mac dating back to the PowerPC days. A lot’s changed since those dark days, however. To say that we spend a lot of energy doing performance analysis is [...]
I am very happy to be able to announce the release of Firebug 1.5.0 on addons.mozilla.org. This release represents a significant effort by the Firebug Working Group which saw the addition of some new faces over the last few months. Here’s a quick run-down of some of the new features: Enhanced Inspector More accurate Net [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I made a short-ish screencast about some of the basic features of Firebug. I plan on making more of these in the near future highlighting some of the features of Firebug 1.5 and some of the other, lesser known things you can do. this is an HTML5 video element. Right [...]
