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.

Firefox 0.8

Between the release of Firefox 0.8 and the Web Developer extension getting a mention on kottke.org this site has seen quite a bit of traffic. I have also had many emails asking if the User Agent Switcher and Web Developer extensions are compatible with Firefox 0.8—which they both are. Lastly, the Uninstaller extension has been re-released so that people can test if the previous problems have been fixed by the Firefox release.

Web Developer 0.6.1

Following hotly on the heels of the 0.6 release, a new version of the Web Developer extension has just been released. This release was a response to user comments about changes in the previous version. The major new features are an option to hide the Web Developer context menu and the ability to configure whether the view source feature loads in a window or a tab.

Web Developer 0.6

A new version of the Web Developer extension has just been released. This release contains many new features including keyboard shortcuts, nested frame support and the option to choose whether generated pages are opened in tabs or windows. It is also great to see the Web Developer extension being mentioned as a possible extension to be included with the Mozilla Firebird installer.
