Mozilla Introduced Pragmatic Firefox Toolbar for Web Developers in Firefox 16

Mozilla has always captivated the market attention with it magnificent versions of Firefox web browser, utilitarian addons and plugins and feature-rich Firefox toolbars. Making the world a lot easier for developers, Firefox launched the beta of its latest browser version 16 after the recent launch (about a week ago) of Firefox version 15. The beta is also known as Firefox Aurora 16.

What’s hot with the new Firefox? The browser offers support to the web developers. Improving the experience for developers, Mozilla engaged in flawless toolbar development for Firefox 16, enabling web developers to quickly access the tools. The toolbar is accessible by hitting F2 key from the keyword or by using the web developer menu.    

Basically, the purpose of launching the new toolbar is to provide faster and simpler access than ever before. The main attraction of the developer’s tools is the Command Line Tool/ Interface (CLT/ CLI). CLI is a web console, which allows viewing all the information about the web page’s log messages. CLI is “quick-to-type”. It is designed to complete the commands and parameters as you type. The CLI is of no use to the web users, but it has proved to accelerate development work as typing produces results faster than toggling screens and various menus. For example, if a developer wants to resize an image to 320x480 pixels, he can simply type “resize to 320 480” in the command line, and CLI will execute the task.

Apart from CLI, Firefox 16 has entrenched various other features including, the user can control the debugger, alter CSS suing the style editor, view and inspect page elements and view the mobile version of the page using Responsive Design View Tool. The toolbar essentially supports the 3D page visualization tool; it helps to control the Tilt.

Firefox toolbar development has always been pragmatic. The Firefox toolbars are always made extensible to add more elements as and when the web progress happens.
