Web Developer 0.7 and User Agent Switcher 0.3.1

A new ver­sion of the Web Deve­lo­per exten­sion has just been relea­sed. This release con­tains many new fea­tu­res inc­lu­ding adding a user style sheet, sta­tus icons that indi­cate whether the page is in stan­dards com­pliance mode and if there were JavaSc­ript errors and con­fi­gu­ra­ble key­board short­cuts. Perhaps the big­gest addi­tion is the ‘Edit CSS’ fea­ture. It is just the first ite­ra­tion of this fea­ture and I have some plans for enhan­ce­ments on my to-do list.

I also relea­sed a minor update to the User Agent Switcher exten­sion. The main update in this release is the addi­tion of an option to auto­ma­ti­cally reset the user agent when the brow­ser closes.

    By default, this ver­sion of Web Deve­lo­per seems to trash all of the icons on its tool­bar if you simply upgrade from an old ver­sion. In Fire­fox, you can simply drag them back to the tool­bar, but this isn’t the case in Seamonkey/Suite. So basi­cally my tool­bar in Sea­mon­key is screwed.

  2. In Fire­fox yes this does hap­pen, but it works in Sea­mon­key for me.

    Your best bet is to unins­tall the exten­sion and then reins­tall and this should fix the tool­bar. Send me an email if it doesn’t…

    How do you unins­tall the exten­sion without being able to click on the options button?

  4. The easiest ways are:

    1. Use the Tools -> Web Deve­lo­per -> Options -> Unins­tall Web Deve­lo­per menu
    2. Right click on the page and use the Web Deve­lo­per -> Options -> Unins­tall Web Deve­lo­per con­text menu
    3. Use the ins­truc­tions at the Know­ledge Base which should also work for Seamonkey

    I couldn’t get any of those methods to work correctly, so I just nuked the pro­file and star­ted anew. I guess it was about time to get a new pro­file in Sea­mon­key any­way. I’ve been using the same one since 1.4

  6. hi chris
    V 0.30 in moz.1.4.1 on Linux-Fedora; switching to agent pre­sen­ting moz-version < 5, mozi­lla won’t res­tart after shut-down. Strace tells that moz. has inter­nal check and “expects to find 5.0 or grea­ter”. Moving all agent-settings from prefs.js to user.js seems to take care of the problem.

    Something is wrong with the links on your page; it is not pos­si­ble to download/install/connect to the new ver­sion 0.31

    kind regards

  7. There are a lot of pro­blems with set­ting the user agent to a dif­fe­rent value and the brow­ser not res­tar­ting. This is why ver­sion 0.31 of the User Agent Switcher has the option to reset the value on exit.

    As for the down­load link: it works fine for me. It points at the mozdev.org ser­ver so it can be slow and if that ser­ver is down then you will not be able to ins­tall, but everything is fine for me at the moment.
