Web Developer 1.1.5 and User Agent Switcher 0.6.11

Bizarrely (and rather embarrassingly) this is an almost identical post to my last post over 10 months ago. New versions of the Web Developer and User Agent Switcher extensions have been released. These releases are mainly to add support for the upcoming Firefox 3, but also contain a few other bug fixes.

And just like my last post I have redesigned my site - I think everything is working, but let me know if you see anything broken. Maybe I will actually write some posts describing some of the new features like I promised last time.

  1. “View source with” is still not wor­king.
    Firefox3 beta 4
    web deve­lo­per: 1.1.5

  2. Web Deve­lo­per was one of the exten­sions I was wai­ting for before I could switch to Fire­fox 3! Thanks for upda­ting it :)

  3. ““View source with” is still not wor­king.
    Firefox3 beta 4
    web deve­lo­per: 1.1.5″

    Con­fir­med.

  4. I’ll look into fixing ‘View Source With’ for a future release.

    Chris Pederick — March 18, 2008 @ 07:02 —

  5. All I have is a blank tool­bar. There were other upda­tes yes­ter­day so I disa­bled all addons except WDT. Still no love.

    Can you make the last ver­sion avai­la­ble? I’d like to revert and see if this helps.

    Thank you.

  6. Hi,

    thank you very much 4 FF3 Support.

    I love you great tool!!! ;)

    Nice wishes,
    Oliver

  8. Not sure if this is a bug or what but did you fix the issue where if you have out­line current ele­ment selec­ted, you can’t type the let­ter “c”?

    Galen — March 18, 2008 @ 08:04 —

  9. Galen — See this forum post which also applies to the ‘Out­line Current Ele­ment’ fea­ture. I haven’t had a chance to turn this off yet, but will be doing so in a future release.

    Chris Pederick — March 18, 2008 @ 08:59 —

  10. oh, inte­res­ting, i remem­ber a bunch of times when i was thin­king “man i wish i could copy the path”

    Galen — March 18, 2008 @ 09:12 —

  11. There is also a bug in the current release in FF3b4 that Com­mand + Shift + S (on a mac) will only disa­ble All Sty­les and not tog­gle them. Clic­king on the option in the fly-out menu, howe­ver, works as expected.

    Art Vandelay — March 18, 2008 @ 11:52 —

  12. Art Van­de­lay — Good catch. I’ll fix this in the next release.

    Chris Pederick — March 18, 2008 @ 12:01 —

  13. Thanks for kee­ping alive this very awe­some tool. I wouldn’t know what to do without it!

    Bjorn — March 18, 2008 @ 12:29 —

  14. Chris, I read the FAQ. Guess what? You’re a genius. I am not. Thank you.

    Tom Schmitz — March 18, 2008 @ 13:47 —

  15. Like someone said before, this exten­sion was the only rea­son I haven’t switched to FF3 yet — now I can, thank you

    Gyula — March 18, 2008 @ 23:52 —

  16. When I had “Dis­play Image Paths” ena­bled, I used to be able to right-click on the text and choose “View Image” whe­reas I no lon­ger seem to be able to do that.

    Pete — March 19, 2008 @ 05:00 —

  17. Pete — Nothing has chan­ged with that fea­ture and I am still able to do as you desc­ribe so I’m not sure why it’s not wor­king for you.

    Chris Pederick — March 19, 2008 @ 06:07 —

  18. Just wan­ted to say thank you. I’ve been using the web deve­lo­per tool­bar for awhile and could not ima­gine wor­king without it. It is a won­der­ful gift to all developers!

    Mario — March 26, 2008 @ 22:38 —

  19. I get the follo­wing error when I try to down­load the extension:

    InternalErrorWe encoun­te­red an inter­nal error. Please try again.6A313A7C8F3BAF36AhJTP2UjmiHJbVRB01jx6DlJyVODPVVCCtpdWW+8WcZCSpLSbP6oAHvIzdtUQPKq

    Peter — March 27, 2008 @ 11:48 —

  20. Peter — Please read the help.

  21. Beta 5 avai­la­ble! Upda­ting requi­red :)

    Mark — April 2, 2008 @ 09:53 —

  22. Mark — The exten­sions on my site sup­port all ver­sions of Fire­fox 3 and work fine with Beta 5. I have also just upda­ted the ver­sions on Fire­fox Add-ons to sup­port Beta 5.

    Chris Pederick — April 2, 2008 @ 10:08 —

  23. I see I spoke too early. Srry :) Keep up the good work.

    Mark — April 3, 2008 @ 10:29 —

  24. I just ins­ta­lled 3.0b5 and the “Dis­play Ele­ment Infor­ma­tion” fea­ture does not work pro­perly. The key­board short­cut (at least on the Mac ver­sion; I’m using Leo­pard 10.5.2) does not work pro­perly. It will turn it on, but not off, and the com­po­nent ins­pec­tor shows up twice, but the second ins­tance does not work (it shouldn’t even be there).

    Cheers if it’s a quick fix… It’s the tool I use the most. Can’t thank you enough for this addon.

    Brendan — April 4, 2008 @ 10:01 —

  25. Bren­dan — First of all, ‘Key­board short­cuts do not tog­gle fea­tu­res correctly’ is already on the known issues list.

    As for there being two ins­tan­ces — are you sure there is not a frame or iframe on the page? This is how the fea­ture has always wor­ked — there is one ins­tance for each frame.

    Chris Pederick — April 4, 2008 @ 10:04 —

  26. Thanks for the quick res­ponse and no, I am posi­tive there is not an iframe. It does it for every sin­gle site, and I am aware of the iframe beha­vior :)

    I can send you a screenshot if you’d like?

    Brendan — April 4, 2008 @ 10:20 —

  27. One thing to add; the dou­ble ins­pec­tor beha­vior is incon­sis­tent. It appears on some sites, and not on others.

    Gmail is one nota­ble one that trig­gers it.

    Brendan — April 4, 2008 @ 10:22 —

  28. Bren­dan — I’m not seeing this in Gmail or other sites without ifra­mes so it sounds like something strange is hap­pe­ning on your machine. You might want to see if it still hap­pens with a new profile.

    If that doesn’t fix it, please take this to the forums as the com­ments are not the place for exten­sion support.

    Chris Pederick — April 4, 2008 @ 11:13 —

  29. Your tool­bar is great, it is one of main rea­sons why I am using Fire­fox at all. :) Is it pos­si­ble to inte­grate a tool that tracks adsense publishers into your tool­bar? It can show num­ber of sites with adsense that belongs to same owner.

    owner spy — April 12, 2008 @ 17:16 —

  30. owner spy — This is something that makes more sense as a sepa­rate exten­sion. I do not have time to take this on, but you could try pos­ting in the Mozi­lla­Zine forums to see if someone there is inte­res­ted in doing it.

    Chris Pederick — April 14, 2008 @ 08:37 —

  31. When can we expect ff3 rc1 sup­port? Thanks

    Martin — May 18, 2008 @ 03:42 —

  32. Mar­tin… Get it here:

    Don’t try through FF site.

    Curious George — May 18, 2008 @ 05:02 —

  33. Actually there are some pro­blems with the exten­sion on Fire­fox 3 RC1 and I am wor­king on a patch release. I hope to release the patch soon.
