Inline breakpoints and human-friendly variable names are gamechangers! Looks like FF is going above and beyond Chrome devtools with this update.

Can it inspect WebSockets frames yet? I'm a Firefox user but I miss that sometimes when developing stuff.

I heard that this was going to be a GSOC project this summer, but I'm not sure if that was approved or not.

I'm really liking this recent uptick in Google/Mozilla/Opera development/rivalry lately. It's good for consumers. If only things happened more quickly...

Mozilla methodology: staffs should avoid well defined works so that volunteers, interns, and students can do them.

This is the big one that sends me back to Chrome every time I start to get settled in Firefox.

Firefox is not their primary product and they have no competition. /S

Oh... I consider Mozilla methodology a good methodology. Staffs probably can do both well and ill defined works better than volunteers, but they do have comparative advantage in ill defined works. A problem with methodology is that well defined works can be delayed, but Mozilla do have massive contributor pool so that it is not usually a problem.
