permalink Firefox Heads-up Display for Developers

Looks like we might have a potential competitor to Firebug coming out soon… This is exciting!

… an interactive Console to help web developers understand everything that happens during the creation of a web-page. Console entries will be time-stamped objects representing errors, network traffic, javascript events, DOM/HTML mutation and logging output. The Console will also have an interactive command line for evaluating javascript against the current webpage and an interactive Workspace window for entering and evaluating larger blocks of code.

I know it’s far-fetched, and kinda beside the point for Mozilla/Firefox developers to make it cross-platform, but I’d love to see something along the lines of Firebug Lite with this too.

A recording of a lesson I gave to my team on introductory JavaScript. If it’s too small to see the text in the feed, head on over to the Vimeo page here or view it in full screen.

Firefox CSS Reload Bookmarklet

If you’re in Firefox, drag this link to your bookmarks bar and when you click it, it will reload all of the CSS files referenced by whatever page you’re currently looking at.

Reload CSS

I can’t take credit for this, however. I first saw it today on the #css channel of irc.freenode.net by user “gimpscape”

Ajaxian recently posted that they found out WebGL is available in the firefox nightly build. Man, I can’t wait to play around with this when it actually gets released.
