(Chrome devotee here). I spend an hour recently with FF-22 trying to debug a regression in FF by using the built-in dev tools; it seems to lack the ONLY feature that I actually want (and to be honest I feel so bemused that it's not there that I think I'm being dumb and missed it): I can't execute a JS statement in the context of the current stack frame. I'm sure the scratchpad must be able to do this, because otherwise it seems like its the most useless debugging console I've seen in some time.
- moonboots 13y agoI had the same experience. Fortunately, FF23 adds this feature (under the heading 'Web Console in Debugger Frame' in the linked post).
- mihai_sucan 13y agoThat feature means you can set a breakpoint in any javascript and while you are paused on a frame you can execute JS in the web console. The code you type executes in the stackframe you have selected in the debugger. (this did not work in ff22 or older)
- the_mitsuhiko 13y agoNightly does that now.
- mihai_sucan 13y agoWe will add a way to select the iframe/frame where to execute JS. This feature is currently in planning.
