- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13715254, 6 years agoI would rate the previous version (maybe it's not updated at all, but just Firefox updated!) as top five star, however now this tool has not been displayed as a full toolbar. Instead, it now displays as a button... It's terrible. I would believe Firefox to blame. Firefox new versions have destroyed so many great addons!
However, for the author of the addon, it would be of great help if you can update the tool to get compatible with Firefox... Thanks in advance!Developer response
posted 6 years agoAll of the changes in the extension were required by Firefox as they have switched to a new system for extensions. There is nothing I can do on my end to work around this unfortunately. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13714186, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13713358, 6 years agoHello,
I loved this addon until the previous version. I made an update yesterday, the actual (22/1/18) version came. I can't use this anymore, the old version is really very good.
This actual version is worst. Just one button, and the display password ( for example) does not run any long. Yesterday it was possible, today no.
Same problem on Chrome.
I still run FF 49.0.2 to prevent lot of problems since the 50.xx came.
Please, how to get back, or download as file, a previous version ?
Anyway, thank you for the job
Big thanks for your answer Chris, i will visit the given link asap, at the moment I use my phone to reply.
Take care, warm regards.Developer response
posted 6 years agoOlder versions of the extension are available here, but note that they are not supported and will not work in future versions of Firefox:

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13704801, 6 years agoCant find the "Display CSS per element" (don't know, what it was actually called) function anymore. To see what css is applied to an element and where to find that css was the most useful function for me. Sad. :(
UPDATE: Thanks for the info chrispederick! Its so sad, that obviously Firefox itself crippled this once awesome add-on.
My five stars are in remembrance of the "Web Developer" we used to know. :(Developer response
posted 6 years agoThe ‘Display Style Information’ feature had to be removed as Firefox removed the APIs that it was using. The best replacement for this feature is the CSS inspector built into the browser developer tools:

- Rated 5 out of 5by Katryne, 6 years agoLegacy version with toolbar and everything such as we used to love before.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Squirrelly, 6 years agoThis is a great extension that I've used for years. Unfortunately FF 57 has partly crippled it. I'm keeping my FF at 56 and installing an prior version of Web Developer until FF fixes its API (which it probably won't). But I really want to thank chrispederick for his great work on this and updating it for FF 57 as best as possible.
I have a dozen critical extensions and 9 of them are still "Legacy" with no suitable replacements. Unfortunately all of the three that were updated have lost functionality I need. So I'm guessing that's why the others aren't updating because there's no way to do it without breaking what they're trying to do. So looks like FF 56 Forever. Or if I'm going to have to lose all my extensions, I might as well look for a new web browser too. FF is no longer going to have real useful extensions anymore. Which is sad as I've been using FF since the days of the Mozilla browser. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 10304565, 6 years agoNo toolbar anymore, only a button? Why, oh why... One unnecessary click more is needed to get same functionality as before :( Otherwise a must have add-on for a web developer!
EDIT: Okay, it's FF to blame. Damn. - Rated 5 out of 5by Steve, a fellow programmer, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12264533, 6 years agoFound it on internet, view responsive layout make me really impressive, but dont order view mobile in column, moblie potrait and mobile landscape can be same row for more convenient. Wait for next update
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13641046, 6 years agoI loved this addon, but only until the actual version came. I can't use this anymore, the old version is really very good. This actual version is worst. The option to see dom source code and to personalize to outline elements I want is the best for me. Why you modified a so good addon. Sorry, falled down in my concept.
The rules of Firefox will be the same as Chrome, plastering the good extensions developers - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13630246, 6 years agoOLD version was better i could hover over and see the css information. the function is disapperared and the addon is now useless for me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13625297, 6 years agoThis is an excellent extension!!
*** To Other Reviewers*** The changes to functionality, including the tool bar and java are solely caused by Mozilla when they changed the extension API. Chris can not do anything about this until Mozilla updates the API. Send negative feedback to Mozilla.
To get back some of the functionality, switch to Chrome. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13625041, 6 years ago
