   Good luck! FYI, there's a hidden developer menu that's handy for browser developers to change the number of iterations, select specific tests, etc: https://browserbench.org/Speedometer3.0/?developerMode , and

   I worked on this project - Web Components had a lot to do with it. It's true they weren't feature complete in Firefox when we started the project (notably missing Shadow DOM) - but the first migration from late 2017 was XBL->Cu

   There are pros and cons to using web tech for the application UI. To be clear, the old XBL code was already using JS/DOM, so the most obvious pro in this case was that it didn't require completely rewriting Firefox from scratch (w

   A storage inspector is not part of the tools yet. Some of the functionality for this has landed, but the frontend is still being worked on here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=970517 .

   Thanks for the info. What are you wanting to do with xpath? The console supports the $x function, like $x("//body"). Also, HTML node drag and drop is on the radar here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/sho

    Here is a way to fix this: https://gist.github.com/bgrins/5108712 . When you call `log` it will preserve the line number. Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/bgrins/MZWtG/ .

    Remote debugging is so useful: http://www.igvita.com/slides/2012/devtools-tips-and-tricks/#... . It is painful to try and make and test changes on mobile devices without developer tools. I wonder when this will be available for iOS.

    I really like that visualization! It would be awesome to see that same visualization side by side with Dijkstra's algorithm (same as astar, but with fixed heuristics) to see how much better it can perform.
