This is silly, but one of the main things I like about Firefox is being able to drag a sizable JSON file on top of it and getting that JSON in treeview, with a search filter. It's convenient out-of-the-box functionality.
- thayne 5y agoThat's a great feature
- nofunsir 5y agoNot silly. Just yesterday I used it myself the exact same way. Couldn’t even get VS Code or Sublime to do it without random plugins. Firefox, aka Mozilla JSON tree viewer.

- claviska 5y agoThis is fantastic. I’ve always wondered why browsers don’t show HTML, CSS, and JS source with syntax highlighting, bracket matching, and other basic dev tools features. You are, after all, viewing the source.
- mdaniel 5y agoIt's one of the reasons I have Firefox Nightly on Android: it still honors the "view-source:https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=29480749 https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=29480749" protocol allowing me to look in the page sources on mobile. Naturally, Firefox does this on desktop, too, but that's expected. The "normal" Firefox for Android used to do that, but it also used to let people install extensions as if they owned the phone, but that era is over So while not "bracket matching," it does have syntax highlighting and often it will even highlight bogus HTML in red
- captn3m0 5y agoI've especially enjoyed this functionality since a very popular JSON Viewer extension on Firefox got taken over by tracking malware and started logging all your history.
