Doing things right / Doing the right things.

They're doing the wrong things here. Firefox is dog slow compared to Chrome.

Firefox: I loved you for a few years, but now I fondly remember Firefox 3.5 as "It was better than I.E" ... my new love is Chrome, because Chrome is at my doorstep asking where can it take me, while you're still getting out of bed in the morning.

This echoes my feelings too.

For me FF's developer tool is better, and the add-on ecosystem is better. But it is so so slow.

They seem to be focusing 100% on making dom/css editing pretty but forgetting all about javascript and requests/headers etc. What gives? While this 3D dom stuff looks neat, doesn't make me want to switch from Chrome at all because it's not going to add anything to my day job which does involve DOM/CSS, but also heaps of javascript as well.

I thought this was going to be over-the-top, but after watching the video, there are cases where the 3D could actually be useful. Granted, I use Chrome's Developer tools and don't see myself switching back to FF anytime soon, but I still laud their innovation.

To all the `insightful` comments that again talk about browser speed on a story about Mozilla, lets just remember that different teams under the same organization work on different aspects of the same product. So if the effort is good, lets praise its goodness before criticizing other aspects of the product that may be worse compared to competitors.

It is lovely to see a good effort in the developer tools that were quite abandoned and that other products on the same space were evolving at good speed, like the chrome dev tools, which I find a great tool to work with day after day.

Lets see what Mozilla can do with the javascript part, they should be able to create at least the same good experience as the chrome dev tools do. At least I hope so...

Same here, but I still can't get away with NOT using Firefox but only due to Firebug. I just can't get to grips with chrome's dev tools, but it may be a habit thing. And Firebug for Chrome is just "Lite" really.
