> IndexedDB has reached Candidate Recommendation status and has been unprefixed too. This is amazing.<p>Folks, this is far more important than CSS. Firefox has the most complete implementation of IndexedDB. More than anything else, it is what will enable us to write completely client-side applications.
The new developer command-line interface (Shift+F2) looks really neat, though I'll have to play with it to see if it really turns out to be useful. Here's a list of commands:<p><pre><code> addon - Manipulate add-ons
break - Manage breakpoints
calllog - Commands to manipulate function call logging
console - Commands to control the console
cookie - Display and alter cookies
dbg - Manage debugger
edit - Tweak a page resource
export - Export resources
firebug - Web Development Evolved
help - Get help on the available commands
inspect - Inspect a node
pagemod - Make page changes
pref - Commands to control settings
resize - Control Responsive Design Mode
restart - Restart Firefox
screenshot - Save an image of the page
tilt - Visualize the webpage in 3D</code></pre>
For all the lovers of the "prefixes are not useful, just do without them":<p>> Also the <angle> changed: before, 0deg pointed to the right; now it points, consistently with other angles in the CSS spec, to the top.
My blood boils every time I see an odd change in a perfectly fine way of doing things.<p>Compare this:<p><pre><code> linear-gradient(top,#fff,#000)
</code></pre>
to this<p><pre><code> linear-gradient(to bottom,#fff,#000)
</code></pre>
Why?
Proving what time of day you submit on HN is critical<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4278862" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4278862</a><p>Still, good information to know.
I can't tell from the post, but is the <angle> argument for linear gradients still optional? Ie. is the following still valid?<p><pre><code> linear-gradient(#fff, #eee)</code></pre>
ugh...<p>i'd like to see firefox slow down with the features and focus on stability.<p>firefox seems to be in the same boat as microsoft office, eclipse, gnome, and almost all GUI software. each new version adds meaningless features while bugs proliferate unchecked. (Given that this problem affects GUI apps of all kinds, perhaps it can't be solved?)<p>the latest thing that drives me up the wall about Firefox is that it's continually alerting me that my "plug ins are out of date" but as of the last few months the "plug in update" procedures are all broken -- I'm scared to update Java because the last time I did that I broke all my Java apps, and it seems like updates to Adobe products on windows don't work at all today.
