I just updated Firefox, to my dismay discovered what they did to this amazing Add-on.

The five stars are all for Chris for developing this amazing tool and supporting it over the years. The newest version of Firefox (57) has absolutely neutered this extension. My response goes a little beyond just being sad. I'm actually feeling more than a little shock right now. I'm a professional web developer, and have been for well over a decade now. I've used the Web Developer plugin pretty much continually for as long as I remember. I've shown dozens of people this amazing tool; I've evangelized it all over the place. It truly is a cornerstone of my work and my career, I rely on it every bit as much as I do Illustrator, Photoshop or my IDE.

The new version of Firefox has clearly hobbled this add-on. It's upsetting because I've suffered with Firefox and its infuriating memory hole bugs through the years exclusively because of this amazing plugin. This could finally be the end of my time as a Firefox user. Can I live without this Add-on? Sure, but it undoubtedly makes the design implementation phase of my work much, much more difficult. The built-in developer tools (the likewise neutered Firebug) simply don't cut it, not for writing and editing style sheets.

Chris, I'm not sure how I can thank you enough for building and giving away this amazing tool. I hope the Firefox folks will correct their mistake in the very near future. I genuinely feel a little sick over this, time for a tall glass of wine.
