  • Still a problem

Cookies

• • *Tools* menu and *Export All Cookies* removed
  • Cookie issue list merged with Firebug
  • String bundles fixed and uploaded to BZ

Automated Tests

• Test bot works again.
  • html/onMutate fails on Linux

Issues

• Issue 4176: Commands in Firebug
  • Wee need autocompletion for built in commands
  • Honza: ask publicly on Firebug for feedback
  • New "commands" should be used to control Firebug

• Issue 5571: "Filter Cookies By Current Path" should be on by default
  • All agreed

• Issue 5142: Add help for console API to Command Line
  • Typing help should open a new tab, the same as pressing F1
  • It should also logs a list of all available APIs with links
  • Honza to report a new issue "better wiki page for F1"
  • What about help for shortcuts (see what github.com did, press Shift+?).

  • One global option
  • All sorted by default (except of the Watch panel)

• Issue 4231: do not alphabetize custom objects' properties in console
  • We need to see how other in-browser tools do it first.
  • Honza: one preference "sort yes/no" should be just enough.
  • Honza: kick off a thread on FWG

Miscellaneous

• DONE Firebug to remove the built-in inspector context menu (or provide an option to remove it)

• Issue 5275: Don't use

obsolete prefixed CSS

• • Marked as a blocker.

We should talk about these, but they are probably not blockers:

to create a new rule in the style panel

• Issue 5575: External editor: %line is empty on context-click in main window
• Bug 766032: API for

available CSS properties
