Sebastian, your suggestions sound excellent. I'd like to add just one of my own, which I've made before, but only here since I don't have an account on bugzilla...
I'll make up a name for it: *Live code mapping*. Add some way to reverse-map from the current URL in Firefox, to the corresponding actual source file on the development server. Right now all the Firefox/Firebug "view source" options are just variations on showing the browser's downloaded, cached *duplicate*. I like to open the *actual, original, server file* for real, just by clicking something or using a keyboard shortcut at the client end. Of course this is only possible for someone who has read/write permissions on that server, but most of us do, for the sites we're building. In my case, the "server" is actually local (I'm using MAMP, which is the Mac equivalent of XAMPP on Windows, etc.), but it shouldn't matter whether it's a local development server or up on the Internet somewhere. Right now I can only accomplish this using a separate Firefox extension called Dafizilla View Source With. But it's not under very active development, and I doubt if it has even been updated for E10s. However -- the fact that it *does work* (for now) means this is possible, so why can't Firebug do this on its own? I've only used the Chrome dev tools a little, but someone online thought they have this live-mapping ability that I'm talking about... actually he thought it might be broken now, but wasn't sure. It's hard to explain to people who haven't used this technique, how useful it is. My workflow is based on browsing through the website I'm building, in Firefox, and when I see something that needs editing (content or code), I click one button in the Firefox toolbar and the actual server page pops up in my code editor (in my case, BBEdit on the Mac, or Notepad++ in Windows). If I edit the code there and Save, I'm updating it *for real*. This is incredibly convenient! Can't this be implemented in Firebug? <http://Sanstudio.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
