Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

The criticism is the same: You're worried about running binaries from a particular source, but will accept the signatures from the same source?

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…

Would like multiple profiles in sync. e.g. a Work profile, a Home profile, maybe a mobile.

Some things belong just at work or just at home.

Some things aren't ever accessed on mobile.

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 :)

I had the same issue, the overlays hid the message and I wasn't able to tell that the default browser message was there in the first place (OS X)

Same issue, luckily was able figure out what was going on.

A better profiler, chrome flamechart is probably the best out there, it would be really nice to have the same for Firefox. Also allowing to operate in "count every call mode" and "sampling" (with control over sampling)

Editing JavaScript functions on the fly is the main feature I hear devs complain about Firefox devtools (anecdotal). Chrome allows you to edit the JavaScript in the script tag which is amazingly intuitive. I realize editing variable values is possible while debugging, there are console commands and Scratchpad is neat, but it's not the same. Being able to edit the JS directly in the tab, save and see the changes on the page is a huge time saver.

I was able to find a firebug feature request with applicable bugzilla links: https://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=5083

Edit: changed reload to save
