Great add-on, if you're using a pre-Quantum Firefox! Thanks for the instructions on how to downgrade FF.

l'extension ne marche plus avec ma version de firefox.....57.0 64bits

5 stars for the old version, but only 3 for the latest one because of the ruined UI.
Isn't there any way to get back the old proper toolbar & menus?

Now it looks like some horrible ribbon-clone.
Im guessing its because of Mozillas recent self-lobotomy, and that they have banned toolbars along with every other useful thing?

Ill stick with the older version on FF 52 ESR, until Mozilla gets their shit together.

¿Por qué eliminaron la opción de borrar caché?

Hi
I downgrade to Firefox 56.0b9 (on Mac) and redownload version 1.2.13 of Web Developer: u know what? I happy now...

I'm glad to see this got ported to a WebExtension. Mozilla has made life harder for add-on developers.

(Aside- Not so intuitive that I have to click on the stars to make a comment)

So, the automatic updating I just did of Firefox (circa 2017-11) seems to give me a version of Web Developer that's quite different...

I don't seem to have the right-click content menu anymore.

And even more critically, there doesn't seem to be a "Save Generated Source" feature anymore.

Is that true?

If not, then could someone please tell me how to find it.

And if true, then might I inquire if there are any plans to re-implement this useful feature?

Thanks.

[Update - I see that this new version of Firefox is a complete bomb wrt Web Developer, and that others have noted the disappearance of "Save Generated Source" (+ a lot more). I think the instructions for downloading the old version + extension is very useful. I wish Firefox would provide an automatic roll-back for this sort of stuff. I've actually almost switched to Chrome due to the "downgrade" performance of the Firefox "upgrades". The philosophy seems to fundamentally disregard backwards compatibility - and must be a constant hardship to extension writers

PS- I hate (not a lot, just a little) the new Firefox icon. Change just for change's sake?]

Chris,

Thank you so much for working on this extension!

Live was so hard without it, when it wasn't working with FF 57 - I am the only one in my dev team to use FF for website development - everyone else are on Chrome here. I'm using your extension on daily bases since 2009 - such a handy tool! The new version is working like a charm - so snappy quick and colorful. I can't express how happy I am to see it back in my browser! Once again, thank you, thank you, one hundred times thank you!

Dan

The 5 stars is for the developer thank you so much for such an amazing contribution. I love and used this plugin everyday.


Now as for firefox....SHAME ON YOU!!!! Removing the ability for people to have these addons as toolbars was the biggest mistake you could have made. We should have full control over the tools we use and how we want to display them. I dont see why this was changed when it was preferred and used and at the end of the day NO ONE else is forced to have our individual setup. Taking away this features ability to be displayed as a toolbar and easily accessed has actually made me switch to using the GOOGLE CHROMEs browser as I am able to lay my developer toolbar out there as it should be. Start listening to your users please especially the people who use these great addons to make the internet an even greater place. I am so upset you ruined this addon I may even have to abandon the browser all together.

I do not know how to answer your post!

merci de votre aide
Dommage !
votre module était plus pratique, on avait l’adresse de la feuille de style et les style attachés c'etait simple et efficace...
On fera avec !
merci


Pity !
your module was more convenient, we had the address of the style sheet and the style attached it was simple and effective ...
We will do with!

================================================================================
hello
déçu de cette nlle version, pas de francais, et l'option "voir les css d un élément en particulier" (ou quelque chose de ce genre !) à disparue...

merci tout de même au développeur.
Peut -être dans la prochaine version !?


Hello
disappointed with this version, no French, and the option "see the css of a particular element" (or something like that!) to disappeared ...

EDIT

Maybe in the next version!?

Firefox 57 changed the way extension localization works so I need to rewrite that functionality, but I hope to add it back in with the help of translators in a future release.

The ‘Display Style Information’ feature had to be removed as Firefox removed the APIs that it was using. The best replacement for this feature is the CSS inspector built into the browser developer tools:

Thank you Chris, already it's super nice to have answered, it's rare enough to be mentioned.
I use this extension since it exists, and that's really what you do.
I will wait impatiently for the version with the French translation. Apologies for being impatient. ;)

I have used this extension for years, daily. Unfortunately the post-Quantum version is a big deception : first it is not a toolbar anymore, and second the possibility to instantly turn off javascript has been removed. I realize this is a Firefox problem and not the developer's fault, but I have lost a great tool :(

I later read that the fault is from Firefox. So it still remains a 5 stars toolbar for me, so... HEY FIREFOX LET THE TOOLBARS BE TOOLBAR AS BEFORE!!

Hi,

I have turned off cache and dns cache using previous version of Web Developer. Now cache is still suppressed, but I have no control to enable it again. Can You help please?

2 things.

First,
I use the function enable form fields but it no longer enables them as the website they are in frames, I need to open that individual frame and then click on enable form fields. In older version it work perfectly without opening individual frame


2nd thing

Has the shortcuts been removed? the website I deal with reloads after I enter data in certain boxes, so I used the enable form fields shortcut to enable it .

Please work a fix for the above

Thanks,

And where is the web developer toolbar now? A button somewhere on the side of the panel with a drop-down menu is not at all convenient. You need to do a lot of mouse clicks before you get the result

ok
