Developer Tools Update – Firefox 22

Biggest thing I'm missing in the FF Aurora builds is a console in the Inspector / Debugger panes. Having to switch to the console pane all the time gets annoying quickly.

<i></i>Please<i></i>, stop making the inspector lose focus immediately after you open it. It's very annoying.

Is there any plan to expose some of these new features (subpanes, docking mode) to the developer command line tools as well? Being able to do something like this would be very nice:<p><pre><code> inspect body --font console open --side </code></pre> (That aside, developer command line tool[1] is already a big productivity booster. You should check it out if you haven't.)<p><a href="https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/08/new-firefox-command-line-helps-you-develop-faster/" rel="nofollow">https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/08/new-firefox-command-line-h...</a>

Great. I still wish FF's Console was as good as WebKit's, though.

That font inspector looks awesome. I've wanted exactly this several times before.<p>It's often surprisingly difficult to pin down exactly what font the browser chooses. You can look at the CSS font declaration (which is often hard enough to find in complex CSS), but what if the browser didn't go with the first option?

Looks like they're finally making my add-on - <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/font-finder/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/font-finder/</a> - obsolete. Frankly, all I can say is about time. This is something that I would've expected to be able to do long ago, and I welcome my new font analysis overlord.

I've been giving the nightly builds a real shot at replacing the main browser I do my development in, but I've been sorely missing a shortcut to clear the console output, ie ⌘K in the webkit inspector. As far as I know, the only way to clear the console is either clicking "clear" or invoking clear(); in the console itself.

It used to be that I could close the inspector in FF by hitting escape. I would love to get that functionality back it makes it super easy to go in and out of it. (Ctrl+Shift+I) do thing (ESC)

Honest question.....why work on these features when we have Firebug ?

Font panel. YES.
