Here are the highlights from this week’s meeting:

  • If you’re running Firefox Nightly, you should get Firebug 1.10a1
  • the GCLI command line  is being turned back off in the Web Console, but it will come back in the Developer Toolbar feature that is coming later
  • Web Console is undergoing restyling
  • Sonny has picked up the e10s patch for the Web Console, which we’re hoping will ultimately help the Web Console become remotable
  • Style Editor transitions have landed
  • Script Debugger is partway through superreview, and Panos has posted a document about the architecture

Those are the highlights for this week. Check out the full outline on the wiki, and join us next Thursday and say hi!

    Any progress on fixing the Firebug immortal zombie compartments?

      I have spent a lot of time on hunting down the zombies, but there are no proper tools that would help me with it. and so, I haven’t done much progress.

      I am betting on this tool ATM: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699801

      …waiting till the suggested tool is available.

    I hope that bug’s whiteboard entry of memshrink p1 indicates Mozilla is assigning more resources than just a few developers. That said, the best of luck to messrs mccr8 and Lebar.
