It won't for long when they deprecate their extension API and move to Chromes...
- derefr 9y agoPresumably that won't mean that Firefox will only install extensions from the Chrome Web Store, though. addons.mozilla.org will continue to exist.
- clouddrover 9y agoThe dev tools are built into Firefox by default. So what do you base your claim on?
- y4mi 9y agopretty sure he was talking about the extensions that extend them though. firebug comes to mind.
- clouddrover 9y agoFirefox DevTools was built from Firebug, which is why they no longer develop Firebug. See the Firebug website: http://getfirebug.com/ http://getfirebug.com/ And here's some more history: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2016/12/firebug-lives-on-in-firefox-devtools/ https://hacks.mozilla.org/2016/12/firebug-lives-on-in-firefo...
- robin_reala 9y agoNo, Firefox Dev Tools is a completely seperate project historically. Firebug version 3 and up built on top of it, but that’s the only connection (beyond commonality in tool function).
- H4CK3RM4N 9y agoThey're sadly moving towards interoperability/feature-parity with WebExtensions, but I don't think they'll change entirely at any point.
- Crespyl 9y agoI think they've explicitly stated that they're planning to entirely remove XUL from the codebase, eventually.
