Am I the only one using firebug for javafx webview debugging?
java lacks a proper javascript debugger.

#52I used to use Firebug extensively. These days, the built-in Firefox developer tools seem to cover everything I need.
I find the Firefox dev tools very inferior to Chrome dev tools, missing a lot of "must have" features.
If you are using Firefox for testing front-end, I suggest using Nightly as a copy for dev tool. You will get the latest goodies.

#53Isn't a promise of Firefox that the energy spent on something like Firebug could instead be utilized on the built-in dev tools?

#54Any plans for sourcemap support?

It covers everything, but I prefer the UI of Firebug over Firefox and Chrome's built-in tools. Pretty pumped to try this out.

Who would have promised that? The firefox developers? Or the firebug developers?
In general, in the open source landscape, people work on whatever they want to work on, not on what somebody promises.

#57I use Chrome or Firefox built in developer tools, however I still think Firebug fits my workflow the best. Unfortunately it's too slow to use. The thing I miss the most is the inline display of AJAX call responses, and being able to write/run multi-line snippets of JavaScript (without ctrl+enter). Somewhat interestingly, Firefox built their entire add-on architecture because Joe Hewitt wanted dev tools (for debugging…

Probably not 100% what you wanted, but they're really handy for sketching out code fragments.

And for Firefox Developer Tools, we have the Scratchpad. I like ours better due to the keyboard shortcuts for eval/display/inspect/re-eval function/etc, but I may be biased ;)

Much of the new JS that I write these days starts as a scratchpad that I evolve over many iterations, right in the browser.

#59Earlier quoted context omitted.
such as? not disagreeing, just wondering what you consider "must have" features that Firefox currently lacks.
Does FF have nice memory tools? I can't see any. I've come to rely a lot of Chromium built in mem tools: Heap snapshot (including diff between snapshots), Record Heap Allocations, Timeline.
I'm working on these tools now, finishing up initial platform work, should start on business logic/UI fairly soon here and get a version 0 out soon.
See http://fitzgeraldnick.com/weblog/54/ for some implementation details.

#60A word of warning to others: Not a good start. Trying replace my current installation of Firebug with this one caused my Aurora to enter a constant crash-loop.
Entering safe mode, uninstalling the existing version and attempting to close all tabs related to Firebug seemed to fix the problem.
So you may want to try removing your existing Firebug before installing.
