I managed to get this when downloading Firefox Aurora over the weekend while reinstalling my OS. I wasn't expecting the dark UI when I opened it. I personally found it a little garish and I couldn't immediately see a way to turn it off. Anyone know if there's a way to switch it back?
You can change the theme in the customization menu (there's a theme drop down on the bottom left), or by using the about:addons and going to "appearance"
Hi! Just a heads up that folks from the dev tools team will be monitoring this thread and are on-hand to answer questions. We'll try not to thread sit too much. :) In brief, the Developer Edition is a new release channel for Firefox, replacing Aurora (our pre-Beta channel). Everything else about the release cadence is the same. There are four major new features here: 1. The Firefox Tools Adapter ("Valence"), which le…
One of the most powerful tools in my chest is Firefile ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefile/ ). Firefile allows you to edit CSS in firebug and save to your stylsheet right from there. It's incredible how this smooths out my workflow and I can't work without it. Firefile, though, doesn't appear to be in development anymore and it's latest release is broken. (I had to make some manual edits to get…

A WebIDE that isn't focused on mobile? Not sure if this is already possible with WebIDE but the focus on mobile-first makes it confusing.
I do a fair amount of prototyping on WebGL and the web platform. However my current flow involves managing my project files, serving them to FF, and building the final bundle via a collection of third-party tools, libraries, and applications. I then run, test, profile, and tweak in FF.
It'd be nice to have a source editor and project manager built in. Give WebIDE an option to develop for desktop FF or something. Focus everything on live-coding: a DOM-enabled source editor could detect new nodes and tell the context to redraw the page; the debugger could highlight the source lines as I step through; the scripting engine can update the DOM-aware editor and highlight added nodes; I can connect source buffers to a namespace REPL to recompile and execute definitions on the fly.
Either that or add a chrome-less mode that allows me to embed FF inside my development environment and open up the remote APIs to allow for more interactive debugging, profiling, etc (eg: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WebKit)

Would love to be able to save scripted unit tests, preferably per URL. Right now it is a bit of a pain point with test suites in JS, PHP, etc... what if we want to switch to another language? It would be better if the tests were local to the browser, unhinging us from some of the language dependencies.

From the top of my mind: 1. HTTP Request builder (think cURL with a nicer GUI and the ability to save presets); 2. Web Proxy, able to "stop-and-modify" requests (think Fiddler or Charles); 3. Network conditions simulator for throttling, packet dropping and limited bandwidth, with profiles (e.g. GPRS); 4. Local Mock REST API, with a few predefined endpoints (e.g. /users/) + the ability to create new ones (with configu…

I swear this type of comment is becoming like a meme, it's pretty much repeated on every HN thread about Firefox. The response is standard too... Electrolysis. Wait for it. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis/Roadmap
I don't see how e10s will fix any of the profile-based performance degradation issues that have existed in FF for years. It will fix the crashing tab equals crashing browser issue, but that is a very different problem.
> Performance would improve because the browser UI would not be affected by poor performance of content code (be it layout or JavaScript). Also, content processes could be isolated from each other, which would have similar security and performance benefits.

User agent spoofing for every tab. Mobile development is hell without it and nowadays almost every site needs to be developed with mobile devices in mind, which makes FF a bad tool for web development. Just copy Chrome in this regard, they do it right.
If a member of the dev tools team is watching, when first launching Firefox Developer Edition, I get a modal on top of a modal: http://i.imgur.com/w11zZJJ.png This wouldn't be a problem usually (although strange) but I have to click the partially hidden box under the top most box to dismiss anything.

Hand editing by moving the cursor is so fiddly and error prone.
Take:

Having MRU entries for each param value in a dropdown would be quite useful too.
