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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
This weekend, the incomparable Mihai Sucan put the finishing touches on the Orion Source Code editor integration pieces and attached it to the Scratchpad. Orion is an open source code editor project that IBM is building. See Mihai’s blog post for some details and a link to an earlier demo video. It’s currently turned off [...]
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 [...]
If you use Panorama (aka, TabView) in Firefox (6 and up) and want to get a list of the currently visible tabs (i.e., the tabs in your currently-selected group), here’s the code to run in a Scratchpad (set to Environment:Browser*): let group = gBrowser.visibleTabs; // current group group.map(function (c) c.linkedBrowser.currentURI.spec).join(“\n”); Just select these two lines, [...]
When you put a key next to another key, there seems to be a strong chance* that some of the time, you will hit the wrong key. It so happens that the Scratchpad, landed recently on nightlies and now over in Aurora is right next to another key, F5. Which, you may know, is also [...]
First of all, I feel obliged to ask you to use Aurora. It’s pretty. It has a nice icon. You’ll enjoy the early glimpse of features and smooth visuals. You can get it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/channel/. With that out of the way, I can talk about the landing of Scratchpad (formerly Workspace) into mozilla-central. It landed [...]
Good news, everyone! This morning we landed the Workspace feature in our devtools project repository. This is exciting stuff for practitioners of JavaScript and we’ll have more to write about it very soon. hint, it’s probably a lot simpler and more powerful than you think it is. Many thanks to Mihai Sucan for taking the [...]
