They should fix the URL bar. When I used a webserver on local network, the URLs got constantly mangled.

Meanwhile Chromium is a perfect hybrid offering the best of both worlds and doesn't need _another_ browser 'dedicated to developers'. Mozilla is more than ever feeling the slippery slope of market share under its shoes and this feels like yet another attempt to recapture a market (web developers) which was once theirs.

This is like one of those startup websites/videos that tells you absolutely nothing about what they are doing.

The canonical example: http://www.zombo.com/

Even better, here's what I get:

Apparently, WebIDE is part of Firefox proper not just nightly. You'll have to toggle a pref in about:config (devtools.webide.enabled) to make it visible in the developer menu. It's pretty cool.

Looks like it's enabled by default on Beta (34), so it should come to release Firefox very soon.

Is there a firefox plugin that lets me edit CSS in the developer tools AND lets me save the edits back to the actual CSS stylesheet on my machine? I'd love to see that functionality.

This is already built into all supported versions of Firefox, including the Extended Support Release. Hooray!

Menu -> Developer -> Style Editor, edit a stylesheet (or add / import a new one), then click "save" in the left panel. Done!

Sounds cool. Shame that Mozilla's developer tools are in some respects that are important to me still inferior to Chrome.

In addition to going through Yoric, the Dev Tools team actively monitors and responds to feature requests on this UserVoice forum: https://ffdevtools.uservoice.com

If you have an idea, submit (or upvote) it there. It will get seen by the right people.

I like the idea of a full browser for developers, but at the some time I fear the granularity of browsers differences increases also. Currently developers cannot stay focused on new features of web App itself but they need to check the compliant with all browsers IMHO that's is one of the major issues why the web technology is going slow especially in the mobile environment.
