- SpikeGronim 16y agoThere's no point in adding however many MB of download for an add-on that so few people use.
- code_duck 16y agoIt's 1.1 mb, which works out to less than five seconds for most people. I suppose they do leave it out to keep FF more lean, but that doesn't mean it Mozilla can't have an official web development add on.
- estel 16y ago1.1mb multiplied by the number of downloads of Firefox divided by the proportion of people that will use them? I don't think that that sounds like very good value...
- RyanMcGreal 16y agoNot to mention that any developer worth his or her salt already knows to install Firebug, and everyone else doesn't need to.
- code_duck 16y agoChrome style incremental updates would help here. Firefox makes people download the entire browser package each time there's an update, while Chrome downloads a patch - a saving of >90% size-wise.
