This is awesome. Was thinking the last few days that I wanted to switch back to FF from Chrome but that the dev tools were the only thing keeping me around. Nice work!

#52This is looking fantastic.
Some suggestions:
- Allow to use a dark theme on all panels. I remember that for a short time, aurora had the dark themes on the html, css panels. It was great, but then it was reverted to the white background. It would be cool if there were a setting to choose the dark color theme. I loved it.
- Add something like firepath. A firebug extension, that adds a panel to test CSS/sizzle (jquery) selectors, and highlights the selected nodes. This is an extremely useful extension for me. If enough people agree, it would be good to have it integrated in the developer tools by default.

#53I am excited to see that visualizing event bindings is on the list. That would be awesome!

Why is the above comment downvoted? Totally relevant in addressing what the comment above it said.
Because the OP was pointing to Sublime as an example of a tool that is available, and popular, cross-platform.
If that were the case, then the OP would have no argument because that's the only external tool being shown right now.

#55At the moment, I really like Chrome because I just find the behavior of the Omnibar superior to Firefox's Awesomebar. But hot damn, you're making me question loyalties on my dev machine.
Like sergiotapia, I'm very close to switching back to FireFox /because/ of the Awesomebar. However, for me, it's because it matches my search history better. Let's say I'm working on a page call /editor/?id=1234, in FireFox, typing 1234 will show that page as the first match, whereas Chrome doesn't even match it unless I start typing /editor/, and sometimes even the root domain. It's very frustrating.

Haha, I just switched from Chrome to Firefox because I hate how Chrome prioritizes Google Search over my previous history. It's idiotic. Here, let me show you a clear example. http://i.imgur.com/uNsh7Yv.png Firefox clearly has the superior bar.
You can deactive this in chrome://settings/. I did it after your post. I find it also annoying.
I would still like the search results to show up though. Just prioritized lower than my history.

I'm working on that. Screenshot: https://bug836233.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=719...
Re: Future of Firefox DevTools
#58How many devs actually use Firefox's dev tools? I see all of that praise "looks awesome, looks amazing, etc" But do people really use those amazing things? I just find the Chrome dev tools orders of magnitude more usable than Firefox's. It's mostly a large amount of what you could call details but it makes all the difference. It all flows better, reduces the amount of thinking you have to do as well as the number of…
We do both at the same times: adding tools and improving existing ones.

#59Adding nothing to this conversation but this is awesome. What an amazing response. Humblebrag: Psyched to see two out of three of my main points addressed. I'm impressed. Meat Loaf* would be, too. * - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Out_of_Three_Aint_Bad
Thanks for the initial feedback :)

There's a Firefox addon called Instantfox [1] which makes the Awesomebar behave somewhat more like the Omnibar. Possibly too much so, depending on your preferences.
