I worked on this project - Web Components had a lot to do with it. It's true they weren't feature complete in Firefox when we started the project (notably missing Shadow DOM) - but…

There are pros and cons to using web tech for the application UI. To be clear, the old XBL code was already using JS/DOM, so the most obvious pro in this case was that it didn't re…

> Thanks for the link. What about IndexDB, Web SQL and Local Storage? Not yet, but a storage inspector panel is being worked on: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=970517…

A storage inspector is not part of the tools yet. Some of the functionality for this has landed, but the frontend is still being worked on here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_b…

Here is the bug for the "Edit as HTML" feature: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=895561 .

Here is a way to fix this: https://gist.github.com/bgrins/5108712 . When you call `log` it will preserve the line number. Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/bgrins/MZWtG/ .

Remote debugging is so useful: http://www.igvita.com/slides/2012/devtools-tips-and-tricks/#... . It is painful to try and make and test changes on mobile devices without developer …
