They bundled theme otherwise all old stuff. I was at least expecting remote API, more UI fixes with dev tools. /me Loves Chrome Dev tools, anything less is a waste of time...

DevTools support remote debugging. I'm using it to remotely debug my mobile app right now. Is that what you call remote API?

I noticed the logo loads slowly and it actually loads a huge x1024 image https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/9069/firefox-dev-ed_logo-...

We're working on this right now in #mdndev on irc.mozilla.org

How many developers does it take to resize an image..?

I would really like to see a good javascript profiling tool in FF. Chrome has one but I think it can be improved upon.

Thanks! I've essentially been using a developer profile in Firefox for some time, but the OSX dock doesn't play well with profiles, so this makes things a lot easier.

There's no need to download this if you're already running firefox aurora. Just update and you'll find that firefox aurora is now firefox developer.

I'd hope they don't all have access to their production servers.

Just to clarify is this the tool they announced a few days ago with that small video?

I think it really should not prompt to be the default browser when you launch it (and maybe never show this prompt like Chrome Canary).

A colleague had a weird race condition (I guess) with this prompt + the "how-to" overlays and Firefox Developer Edition stopped responding to clicks 3 seconds after launching it…

Kudos for using a different profile than the classic Firefox/Nightly :)

They don't seem to have anything akin to Chrome's mobile emulator. They have "Responsive Design View" but it is much less feature complete than Chrome's mobile emulator, only seems to set a resolution.

Getting a 50kB/s download rate for the Linux bzip. If anyone's going to find that annoying, it's developers!
