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…

Right, because that's totally the problem with Australis. Nothing to do with screwing up customization or the general theme, treating users like idiots etc. It's the rounded tabs!

For those who like me are wary of running unverified binaries: - checksums: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/late... - signatures: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/late... - signing key: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/lat... edit: reformatting 2nd edit: added https

You're wary of running unverified binaries but you're OK when they're verified by a checksum downloaded over unencrypted HTTP?

Thanks, I was so focused on finding the files that I forgot.

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…

The best channel for these suggestions is our user voice [0], or devtools bugzilla component [1] though lot's of Mozillian's hang out on HN (and subsequently ring vote themselves out of oblivion).

Try vertical tabs: https://github.com/darrinhenein/VerticalTabs

They are imho much more useful on todays widescreen displays than normal tabs.

I see that concerning point one and two there is option 'edit and resend' visible if you hover over request in network tab, and there is also option 'enable persistent logs', that shows what happens between refreshes. Don't know how it works, just playing around for 10 minutes. Overall I'm impressed with new network panel, much better than before.

That's pretty excited. Unfortunately when I try to edit and send a POST it gets changed to an option. Anyone know why?

The OPTIONS request you're getting is probably just a preflight request related with CORS policies.

> What tools do you need? Safari 8 introduced "breakpoint actions" similar to Xcode's: when a breakpoint is set, it can be configured to not actually break (keep running even if the breakpoint condition matches) and if it matches: * log a message * play a sound * execute code * run a probe Each action type can be used any number of time on the same breakpoint. It's not the most stable and almost undocumented — the on…

Sounds great. I'd love to see it in https://ffdevtools.uservoice.com/

Pretty sure you can. What would be nice would be if the same functionality worked with SASS (and LESS), so you could not only trace back to the original sources using source-map, but also edit the SASS, see the results in the browser, then save the SCSS files. It would require a SASS interpreter built into the browser, not sure if that's practical or realistic. But it would help a lot for when you need to make edits…

I use compass to watch the folder where my SCSS files are stored and compile automatically on save. That way I can use mapping to find the relevant SCSS, edit it in the browser, and save it to view the changes. It isn't as convenient as seeing the changes before save, but it's pretty close.

There is even a Hacks article about that https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/02/live-editing-sass-and-less...

I would love to have FF profiles as dotfiles that I can actually check into source control and use reliably. I blew a couple hours a few months ago trying to make FF fit into my existing system of dotfiles in git and it was extremely frustrating. Every other program I use lets me check config into git, but FF insists on storing config data into profiles with randomly-generated names. It's very resistant to automation…

I'd recommend using Firefox Sync to store your preferences and keep it synched across all your foxes.

It'd be great to be able to post feedback to the UserVoice channel, or anything else, from a dialog in the devtools. That way devs wont forget their great idea while they finish their new neat feature.

I would like to be able to copy the JSON received in the network tab. As it is now, I only get to see a tree-view and can't easily copy the full JSON as text.

+1 for this - also would love to be able to copy and paste an object that has been logged to console (this is only a problem if its a large object and its being 'abbreviated' inline within the console).
