Web Developer 1.1.8 and User Agent Switcher 0.7.2

Updated patch releases for both the Web Developer and User Agent Switcher extensions have been released.

This version of the Web Developer extension fixes an issue where the 'View Generated Source' feature did not work as well, as combining the Firefox and Seamonkey versions of the extension into one build. The User Agent Switcher extension release should hopefully fix the problem with importing user agents in nested folders once and for all.

Apologies for the frequent updates, but hopefully these will be the final patch releases before the next major releases of the extensions.

  1. The Web Deve­lo­per trans­la­tion for Bra­zi­lian Por­tu­guese is very bad.

    Please, fix it or exc­lude this bad translation.

    Thanks!

  2. I added an item in the FAQ about this, but basi­cally all sup­port requests for the loca­li­za­tions should go to the loca­li­za­tion authors at Babel­Zi­lla.

  3. Thanks for the Fire­fox 3.5 update!

    Great deve­lop­ment tool. Thank you!

    Thanks

  5. thx for that great add-on. i often use it to detect cloa­king or emu­late mobile agents and it’s really saving time. thanks so much

  6. A great piece of work.
    Sug­ges­tion: under Infor­ma­tion -> View docu­ment size, have an option to exc­lude anything already cached (e.g. sty­lesheets, graphics).

  7. po — I’ll look into this for a future release.

  8. Any news on when a 3.5.1 update will be issued?

  9. Mark — both exten­sions are mar­ked com­pa­ti­ble with Fire­fox 3.5.* so they already work with Fire­fox 3.5. If you are having pro­blems please read the ins­ta­lla­tion help documentation.

  10. I am also having pro­blems with web deve­lo­per in fire­fox ver­sion 3.5.1. It was fine until fire­fox upda­ted to 3.5.1 then it disappeared

    I have gone through the ins­ta­lla­tion docu­men­ta­tion and nothing see­med to help.

  11. It works fine for me with 3.5.*

  12. @bob: for me, it was a loca­li­sa­tion pro­blem, 1.1.6 did not upgrade to 1.1.8 (i sup­pose because it was mis­sing the ger­man loca­li­sa­tion). after manually ins­ta­lling 1.1.8, everything was fine and fast and com­pa­ti­ble as ever.

    big thanx to chris, as always!! ;~}

  13. I did ins­tall 1.1.8 manually and still nothing. It shows up in my exten­sions but that’s it. I have unins­ta­lled fire­fox and re-installed it and gone through the ins­ta­lla­tion docu­men­ta­tion but still it does not show up. I run win­dows XP. I can live without it but it would be nice if I could get it back

  14. Bob — if the exten­sion is ins­ta­lled, but the tool­bar is not dis­pla­ying then please read this post in the forums.

    Also, please post any further sup­port ques­tions in the forums — blog com­ments are not the place for sup­port as noted in the com­ment gui­de­li­nes below.

  15. Thanks Chris
    I chec­ked it out but it didn’t help. I will check the forums and post there.

    BobJuly 28, 2009 @ 07:38
  16. Thanks I finally got it.

    BobJuly 28, 2009 @ 07:57
  17. Finally I got the update for FF 3.5, somehow the update fai­led every time so I thought you never upda­ted it. I feel hel­pless without this exten­sion :) Keep up the good work!

  18. Nice tool. I like the user agent switch to a robot. ;)

  19. I love user agent. I just need to know on why is that when I close the brow­ser the agent go back to default and do not stay as chec­ked once I re-open the brow­ser again? Thanks.

  20. Your site forum seems to be down. I’m get­ting php error mes­sage about /home/758/domains/chrispederick.com/html/blog/wp-content/plugins/bad-behavior/bad-behavior-generic.php missing.

    RichardSeptember 21, 2009 @ 22:32
  21. Richard — Thanks — it’s fixed now.

  22. Great exten­sion, Thanks!

  23. i love both of these exten­sions — they’re steady and often called upon com­pa­nions, have been for years now :)

    heres an addi­tio­nal use of use­ra­gents­witcher i have actually star­ted to use it for: the­res a web site of mine which i moni­tor with log emails (get an email every­time someone goes to that site). now i dont want to get that email when i go to that site (at dif­fe­rent pla­ces with dif­fe­rent ips) and try out things on that or so. so i simply exc­lude a brow­ser called the regu­lar fire­fox string (Mozilla/5.0 (Win­dows; U; Win­dows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 bla­bla­bla…) and add a code that only i know. thus i can exc­lude my own hits to that site and am not nothe­red by the log emails.

    please con­ti­nue these awe­some exten­sions!

  24. I am not able to down­load this exten­sion. In my fire­fox I try all the ways to down­load. But still not able to down­load. Plz send me the extension.

  25. Amit — Please read the help.

  26. Sea­Mon­key 2 was offi­cially relea­sed a cou­ple of days ago and when I try to ins­tall, I get the mes­sage ‘not com­pa­ti­ble with Sea­Mon­key 2.0′. From what I read in the release notes (for Sea­Mon­key) they have moved it a lot clo­ser to Fire­fox. I’m gues­sing that the pro­blem may be more to do with the checks than with the code. Any plans to test it against Sea­Mon­key 2.0?

  27. Just to update my pre­vious post: I unpac­ked the XPI file and edi­ted the install.rdf to change the maxi­mum Sea­mon­key release to 2.0 and then pac­ked the result, ins­ta­lled, and it seems to be wor­king. The code I chan­ged is right near the end and now reads:

    {92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}
    2.0
    1.0

    (It’s the line with Max­Ver­sion that I changed.)

    So thanks to Chris for this very help­ful code. To every­body else: your mileage may vary, this is an expe­ri­ment, don’t blame me (or Chris) if it doesn’t work.

  28. Sorry — I had a search around and did not spot your post. And also sorry to learn you’ve been under the weather, I hope you’re bet­ter now. And here, I hope, is the code I should have pos­ted (I had not rea­li­sed that Word­Press would take my input as HTML):

    <em:targetApplication>
    <Desc­rip­tion>
    <em:id>{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}</em:id>
    <em:maxVersion>2.0</em:maxVersion>
    <em:minVersion>1.0</em:minVersion>
    </Description>
    </em:targetApplication>

  29. I would like to add an option to recharge the menu style sheets CSS. Like this: http://david.dojotoolkit.org/recss.html

  30. Cris­tianthee­vil — ‘Reload Exter­nal Con­tent’ is already on the to-do list.

  31. Web­De­ve­lo­per 1.1.8 throws an unne­ces­sary “War­ning: Mis­sing clo­sing ’)’ in nega­tion pseudo-class ‘a’.” which is trig­gers by the jQuery selec­tor syn­tax: $(‘a[target=“_blank”]:not(li a)’)

    The :not() syn­tax in jQuery is enhan­ced, com­pa­red to the CSS stan­dard, so it appears to me, as if WD puts out a war­ning, since it checks for CSS com­pliance only.

    I’m just saying! Greaaaat tool, though!!! Thanks a lot!

  32. maxpower9000 — The errors all come from the brow­ser and are just dis­pla­yed by the exten­sion so any issues should be repor­ted to Mozilla.

  33. Thx for share this big Addon.
    Glad Christ­mas! And Happy New Year .
    The Ger­man Trans­la­tion is ok.

    Thx Thx Thx :)
