That's great! It's much better than the prev Firefox dev toolbar. I wonder if people will take the time to learn the Firefox specific console commands?

I might be more impressed if I didn't use FireBug.

wonder if it will play nice with pentadactyl or vimperator or any other of the keyboard based browsing add-ons.

Looks good though.

What do you mean? It doesn't use Firebug at all.

He means that Firebug is better than this new toolbar in his opinion.

Oh, I misread that. Well, apples and oranges.

I'm really pleased to see that Mozilla is finally stepping up to the plate and trying to bring web developers back into the fold that have been enjoying the much better Webkit dev tools. I hope they continue with this momentum.

Favorite feature of the dev toolbar: it has a "screenshot" command to dump a PNG of either the entire page or a specific block.

It's really nice to see an approach that's different not just in UI but in concept. Smart.
