There has been some talk about creating an "Official" suite of Mozilla Developer Tools. This page is intended to be used as a brainstorming "whiteboard" of sorts where we can all jot down and discuss ideas.

What sorts of Developer Tools might we want?

  • User Agent emulation
  • Color eyedropper (hex and rgb colors)
  • Something that makes complex CSS positioning less painful

  • DOM Inspector
  • JavaScript debugger

  • Validation Tools (XHTML, HTML, CSS, RSS, RDF, etc)
  • Browser feature disabler (Cookies, Cache, JavaScript, CSS, Images, Popups, etc.)
  • Window resizer (640x480, 800x600, etc)
  • AJAX latency emulator
  • ???

Accessibility Testing
