Web Developer not compatible with Firefox 3.6? in Web Developer : General

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:39:29 -0500

Sorry, I don't know what else to suggest. The extension works fine for me and is marked compatible with Firefox 3.6. The browser handles all the compatibility functionality so there is little I can do about this issue.What I may try and do is release a new version of the extension to force the browser to update it's compatibility, but since I'm working on Web Developer for Google Chrome this won't happen for a few weeks at the earliest.

I am having the same problem - Firefox says it is not compatible with 3.6.� �I can reinstall the extension and it works for a while but eventually when I reopen Firefox Web Developer is not loaded.� I have the same problem with another extension.� �Both reinstall and work fine then go missing (together).� � Frustrating.Love your extension.

The extension is compatible with Firefox 3.6 as can be seen on theFirefox add-ons page:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60/Try forcing the browser to check for an update by clicking the 'Find Updates' button in the extension window, otherwise please try the suggestions in the help:http://chrispederick.com/work/web-devel … p/#install

I installed the new version of firefox and web developer disappeared. When I looked at add-ons, there was a message to say it was not compatible with ff 3.6. Is there anything I can do? This is such a useful tool, I use it constantly when developing a new site. Thank You

+1 for Google Chrome version! in Web Developer : Feature Requests

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 04:18:06 -0600

As we all know, recently, once our favorite browser (Firefox) recently became one classic example of bloatware. It's slow, buggy and sluggish. Even IE8 is better. I think this won't change in the future, so I'm considering the change to Chrome or Opera, but I do like Chrome better. So the only thing that stops me right now from doing it is that there's no Web Developer extension for it, and it's really essential for pro users, not just developers...So remember the times we all switched from IE to FF, now it's time to give a chance to some better browsers out there... I'm amazed how much Chrome is faster than FF...

Keyboard Shortcut for Display Element Information in FF 3.6 in Web Developer : Bugs

The system for adding shortcuts works as Webavant indicated. However, IMHO� it could be improved if I could specify the modifier keys, using 'checkboxes' to specify the keys to use, instead of being forced to stick to either 'Control + Shift + F' (Windows/Linux/Unix) or 'Command + Shift + F' (Mac) plus the option change only the 'character'.Old & Busted:Command + Shift [ F ]New Hotness:[x] Command� + [x] Shift� +� [� ] Control� + [� ] Option� +� [ F ]Thank you for your hard work!

Huge Import List! in User Agent Switcher : General

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:24:51 -0600

Artens, as a mobile developer, can you check out the new user-agent switcher list I constructed recently? I actually built this to test some of my own user agent scripts, but the mobile section ended up being a lot more in-depth than I'd planned.I organized the mobile stuff into categories, os, browser, device etc, with cross referencing in some cases, ie, same user agents used for different categories, I'm debating going through some of data here and adding more to it, if there's any demand for that it's easy to do.

Disable Cache not working as I would have thought? in Web Developer : General

In that case the Flash plugin is probably doing the caching which is something not controlled by the browser.Note that 'Disable Cache' just sets internal preferences to the browser and the browser handles the rest so any issues/questions should be directed to Mozilla.

Disable Cache not working as I would have thought? in Web Developer : General

Hey... am I correct in thinking that the disable cache doesn't work for all components on a page?For instance... I have a flash file that references an xml.jsp and even with cache disabled I have to go directly to the xml.jsp file, press ctrl+f5 in order to see the latest changes on the homepageI would have thought disable cache disabled absolutely all cache completely... should it?Thanks
