> IndexedDB has reached Candidate Recommendation status and has been unprefixed too. This is amazing.
Folks, this is far more important than CSS. Firefox has the most complete implementation of IndexedDB. More than anything else, it is what will enable us to write completely client-side applications.
The new developer command-line interface (Shift+F2) looks really neat, though I'll have to play with it to see if it really turns out to be useful. Here's a list of commands:
addon - Manipulate add-ons
break - Manage breakpoints
calllog - Commands to manipulate function call logging
console - Commands to control the console
cookie - Display and alter cookies
dbg - Manage debugger
edit - Tweak a page resource
export - Export resources
firebug - Web Development Evolved
help - Get help on the available commands
inspect - Inspect a node
pagemod - Make page changes
pref - Commands to control settings
resize - Control Responsive Design Mode
restart - Restart Firefox
screenshot - Save an image of the page
tilt - Visualize the webpage in 3D
The CSS WG wanted that both the <angle> and the keywords to be consistent: both are indicating a direction now. The 'to' was added in order to let the old and new syntax coexist during the transition time.
i'd like to see firefox slow down with the features and focus on stability.
firefox seems to be in the same boat as microsoft office, eclipse, gnome, and almost all GUI software. each new version adds meaningless features while bugs proliferate unchecked. (Given that this problem affects GUI apps of all kinds, perhaps it can't be solved?)
the latest thing that drives me up the wall about Firefox is that it's continually alerting me that my "plug ins are out of date" but as of the last few months the "plug in update" procedures are all broken -- I'm scared to update Java because the last time I did that I broke all my Java apps, and it seems like updates to Adobe products on windows don't work at all today.
"Each version adds meaningless features" This is because the new rapid-release system lets them publish each feature as soon as it is ready. Since big features generally take longer, it's not surprising that each little release has fewer big features.
