Responsive Mode and Layout View in Firefox 15

http://paulrouget.co...devtoolsupdate/

I can see responsive mode being super useful for people developing a mobile site using media queries, which should hopefully happen more in the future (The mobile web still seems to be stuck in the 90s, with most sites using an entirely different markup and stylesheet compared to the main site)

Shhh , you are not getting it bro... Why would google pay Firefox so much even when Chrome now has max share? (Something they were sure of) That deal also has a secret condition that Mozillian Developers will doom Firefox and make it a Chromish browser... But hey , don't tell anyone!

Is there a way to turn the speed dial page off in 13? I don't know if it's just me or what but it seems like for a speed dial page it's missing half the basic features it should have.

about:config

change "browser.newtab.url" from about:newtab to about:blank

And on a side note , with this you can make firefox open certain site each time you open a new tab. For example , changing browser.newtab.url from about:newtab to say http://www.facebook.com/ you will get facebook each time you create a new tab. A feature which requires an addon.

This is how current WIP patch works like. The implementation is really awesome and close to finish IMO. Only App tabs have problems.

The last one is using Tabs Always in Titlebar addon.

It is in 6th June builds http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-ux/

Oh Yes!! I got your point.. Old days when FF4 was under development, Mozilla did competition campaign etc for adding new UI while now they are blindly adding garbage on it by one user "Stephen horlander" lousy theme basis. Total rip off and more consumer losing decision.

New Incontent Preferences Mockup, yes they are following my (And others :p) suggestion to use vertical list , just like addons manager (feels so good to see your idea being used :D)

(That awkward moment when they use Aero frames but OSX radiobuttons etc :| )

But there is buttons border...? What is going on, They plan to recover buttons border or what?

I guess it is just to give an idea of the customization menu button

PS : Its from 2011 :p I don't know why they covered it in 6 June's weekly meeting .

You're right, I know this mockup and I don't like it :D I prefer current Firefox/Nightly default theme and I've restore buttons border :p on my own. Australis mockup, IMO, isn't best thing, I will need tone of scripts to get "old" theme, unfortunately...

Acording to the heat map (https://blog.mozilla.org/ux/2012/06/firefox-heatmap-study-2012-results-are-in/), the panorama is least being used. They should kill panorama and restore standard windows frames because it is a big problem for taking screenshots of long pages with third party tools.

That mockup is from Sept 2011 , the heat map results for panorama weren't out back then.
