New Firefox Command Line helps you develop faster

And yet firebug is still the better console. Why do fancy things like tilt and this input box have priority over getting basic things like the console output under control?<p>Just look at this example side by side and tell me which one you prefer: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/tKr87.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/tKr87.png</a>

Vimperator and Pentadactyl have had something like this for some time and I've found it really useful. This feature of course goes a little above and beyond and it looks really exciting. Congrats Mozilla!

I wonder if this shares code with the promising-but-defunct Ubiquity project? <a href="https://vimeo.com/1561578" rel="nofollow">https://vimeo.com/1561578</a> Edit: if you don't feel like watching a video, here's what it's about: <a href="http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/ubiquity-in-depth/" rel="nofollow">http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/ubiquity-in-depth/</a>

Wow. This may make switch back to Firefox from Chrome as my develoment browser.<p>Bravo, Mozilla!

I'm loving this. It didn't seem like the most useful feature when I first heard about it, but it seems pretty well implemented. (Using the current nightly).<p>The pagemod and inspect commands seem super useful. I hate having to click around an inspector to find the thing I want -- "inspect #foo &#62; h3" just seems so much easier.

I really hope they add "cache clear", "cache disable", "cache enable", etc.

I don't understand what this does that can't already be done a hell of a lot better with the combo of firefox/firebug and the web developer toolbar?<p>What is the value proposition here? Perhaps I'm missing something but it just looks like a CLI interface over the top of JavaScript (as opposed to the GUI/CLI approach with firebug - which is a far more scaleable approach).<p>Is this thing going to need 1000 plugins installed within the plugin just to offer the same functionality as firebug?<p>I didn't understand the 3d view of web pages either and their GUI for their version of firebug is completely inferior (even though it looks fancier).<p>Looks are not everything.<p>Why has any of this stuff even been allowed to be prioritised over core browser performance and functionality.<p>It is a sad state of affairs to see what Firefox has devolved into compared to how it was in its glory days.

It would be nice if the command line supported a shell-like language that would allow you to easily parameterize and script these Firefox commands. So instead of running one command at a time, you could create files that ran commands sequentially, iteratively, etc. There could even be syntax that sets variables to the values of arbitrary JavaScript expressions (which would give you access to any DOM attribute, for example).

(This is way off the topic, but I am way too curious to ignore and couldn't satisfy my curiosity myself, so) Is the title of the article getting rendered differently (different font) than in other pages, in Google Chrome?<p>Screenshot: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/tWAXr.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/tWAXr.jpg</a>

The FF dev tools offer a very different experience compared to Chrome. I am curious about the rationale between having different views for web inspector &#38; debugger.<p>I am on Aurora/Ubuntu. The binding for the Debugger (Ctrl-Shft-S) doesn't seem to work for me and the Dev toolbar has no way to open the debugger view.

It made me go look in the menu and discovered the new Responsive design mode in FF15, it will be a valuable tool.

Every app should have this.

Neat, but "console clear" to clear struck me. A bit verbose, no? After years of "cls" (aliased on unix) I might not bother with the number of keystrokes required.

Amazing that after all these years, the mouse, perhaps the most iconic symbol of the PC, is being ditched for just about every application.

I really like the screenshot feature for a specific element. Hope that chrome will add this too (preferably via mouse interface though)

3D View is only thing that sometimes take me to Firefox console..Still not exciting to avoid firebug...

It was unstable and rarely discussed until recently. This is very wellcome.

I really liked the cookie feature ,could use it a lot.
