by S, 7 years agoupdate to v 2.0.1 Build Date November 15, 2017 / firefox 57 / Xubuntu 16.04
The "Disable tab" (javascript, cookies...) has disappeared, it is no longer translated in French, and the inclusion as a toolbar and/or a contextual menu was much better (test window 800px wide) and I lost my "Resize" settings
I want my favorite Web Developer tool come back !

posted 7 years agoFirefox no longer provides the APIs that powered the disable functionality so all of those features had to be removed. I have asked for those APIs to be restored, but until that happens there is nothing that I can do.
Localizations also work completely differently in the new Firefox so they need to be completely rewritten, but that is something that I hope to restore in a future release with the support of the translators.
The new Firefox no longer allows extensions to create toolbars and has limited options for context menu support so again there is nothing that I can do on my end to work around these new limitations.
