If you have a HiDPI display (ips or retina mac), Jonathon Kew's patchset to add this feature to Firefox has landed in the Aurora branch.<p><a href="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/" rel="nofollow">http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/lates...</a><p>There are 18a2 builds in there, I'm using it now! However, I haven't seen it mentioned on the main aurora release page, so proceed with caution.
As a guy who writes software who doesn't write much html (because web is hard) I can't help but feel that having all these devtools built in by default, while nice for developers, seems silly to have wasting space on the hard drives of millions of users. They will never use the source viewers, live editing, page heuristics, etc, and it reeks of feature creep to me, and one product trying to be too many things at once.
That's great! It's much better than the prev Firefox dev toolbar. I wonder if people will take the time to learn the Firefox specific console commands?
Reminds me of:
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubiquity_(Firefox)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubiquity_(Firefox)</a><p>Tying this down to the specific domain of web development will probably help its longevity though.<p>I'm very excited about the add-your-own feature and hope it's similar.
I'm really pleased to see that Mozilla is finally stepping up to the plate and trying to bring web developers back into the fold that have been enjoying the much better Webkit dev tools. I hope they continue with this momentum.
The shortcut to bring it up (fn+shift+f2) is pretty unwieldy on the Mac keyboard.<p>Anyone have any idea on how to change the shortcut? No luck in about:config.
Tried the CSS inspector in Aurora. As of today, there is still no keyboard nudge support (Click on the value of a CSS rule and then press keyboard up / down keys to adjust it +1 / -1).<p>Sticking with Firebug until this feature is added.
If Firefox had a GUI that didn't rely on the window manager's decorations (a la chrome), I would switch in a heartbeat.<p>As it stands, using Firefox on Linux (Openbox) feels like a huge step back from Chrome.
Big congrats to the Mozilla team.<p>Lately they haven't stopped releasing new great things: Persona, lljs, WebPlatform (co-participation), now this developer command bar, ... sth else? Impressive.
