[edit] Features and changes

[edit] Enablement UI

• Disable always: when the Firebug UI is not active on any page, the debugger is disabled (minimal overhead)
• Instant on: when the Firebug UI is active, HTML, CSS, DOM views activate (minimal overhead)
• Script panel user-activation: initially disabled or enabled always
• Net panel user-activiation: initially disabled or enabled always
• Console panel user-activation: initially disabled or enabled always. Controls ShowXMLHTTPRequest, consoleListener
• Bug Icon gray unless some page has Script or Net panel activation
• Multipanel enablement
• No Allowed-sites/Disable for Site: no longer needed
• Suspend/Resume Firebug in status bar context menu
• List pages that enable Firebug on the Context menu tooltip. The UI for this feature is being refined; overhead tests have not been completed

[edit] Console and Command Line

• Redesigned Console Panel to use events/attribute passing. (tests/console/joes-original/test.html mostly passes)
• Redesigned Command Line to avoid using evalInSandbox. (tests/console/commandLineObjects.html mostly passes, Command Line API functions, ok)

[edit] DOM

• Works for FF3pre after about 2008041406 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425139)

[edit] Script

• Written/cleaned up eval support
• Performance on eval better, easier to support

[edit] Net

• Net timing more accurate
• Only real network requests displayed
• Limit for number of requests (configurable in preferences)
• Additional columns for: request method, status response + text
• Cache tab has expiration time in Net panel
• The Response tab has a hack to prevent extra requests to the server. Users must click on a button to force the request. The hack will not be needed in the next release of Firebug.

[edit] Miscellaneous

• Secure updates via signed update.rdf with xpi updateHash values.
