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…

As a longtime fan of the dark theme in the Firefox devtools, I'm enamored by the new theme of the developer edition. But you really should document how to turn it off for the people who don't like it. :) EDIT: Ah, I see there's a link to restore the theme at the bottom of the welcome page.

Where exactly? I can't find it anywhere on this page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Developer_Editio...

Exciting stuff! If you're already on Aurora, when you auto-update to developer edition, you'll switch over to the new dev profile and your bookmarks and settings will be gone. You can get at those by opening the profile manager and switching back to the default profile, or by using a stable version of Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-...

Developer edition doesn't seem to respect the setting for default profile. It always opens its `dev-edition-default` profile instead.

You don't need to manually fiddle with profiles, just untick "Allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time" in settings to go back to your old profile rather than the segregated one

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The second one is possible with the Tamper Data plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/tamper-data/

It would be very handy to be able to modify the payload of requests/responses as well without resorting to MITM proxy applications.

Tamper Data is not a MITM proxy. It's a browser add on that modifies the request before the browser executes it.

For those not liking the dark UI, you can switch by opening the dev tools, clicking the gear icon on the right and selecting "light theme".

The Dark UI looks really cool, but switching to the light theme feels so much better. It suddenly feels like Chrome except with better dev tools!

Either way, the new UI changes in this edition make it way more elegant and appealing.

Thank you so much. I felt like I was in a teenager's bedroom.

In dark theme, the contrast to the Yosemite system toolbar is terrible and the tab text is extremely hard to read.

The only issue I have with the inspector tools in its current guise, is the fact you can't open an XHR request logged in the console in the network tab so you can view the nicer layout of parameters and stuff.

Which is really annoying and the main reason I stick with firebug.
