One minor grievance I have with the Firefox console is the input line is all the way at the bottom. I quite like Chrome's approach of starting at the top. Firefox has a few of these irritating UX quirks that I just can't get over. Having to restart after installing an extension is another. Every time I see the request, I can't help lose a bit of respect for it.

This is such a small thing but it drives me insane (and keeps me on Chrome, among other things). > Having to restart after installing an extension is another.

File a bug if you want to request devtools improvements.

"Having to restart after installing an extension is another. Every time I see the request, I can't help lose a bit of respect for it." Restart-less add-ons have been around for long years, so if you see one that wants you to restart Fx, you can blame it on the addon's creator (I know there may be some edge cases where it is a must, but those are pretty rare).

  Wow, this drives me insane. I've always meant to file a bug report about this but I'm not sure if its supposed to be a feature instead. It appears to let you cycle through valid properties but I really wish it was assigned to another key.

> Having to restart after installing an extension is another It depends on the extension. Only some (particularly, older) extensions require restarting.
