As far as I am concerned, the most important change would be the Firebug Window itself. 1.) There should be a 3-way option: Always in the same window/Always in a separate window/Start minimized 2.) when the Firebug window is separate from the actual FireFox window, it schould be tabbed like Firefox, so that it would appear just once in the task-bar. Currently if I am testing some aspect in more then one page (say page- interconnection) and vave FB in separate windows, there are as many FB- windows open as tabs being tested. But the problem is: which window belongs to which tab!!! This would be solved by the tabbed-FB.
Further features 3.) Function-Trace (see separate discussion) 4.) variable-trace: You could set Trace-Watch for variables so that at a given break-point you yould see if, when and how it was change. it could be something like this: Variable: JS-Function Line# new value User_Name Update_Cookie 432 Joe Smith Date_Time Get_Curr_Time 43 20080103121212 Date_Time Get_Curr_Time2 43 20080103152535 This would speed up testing, as you would see when did the variable get the unexpected value and set the break-point there, instead of having to step through the functions. For complex pages: 5.) The list of Libraries should be shown for selection in a separate window: Currently sometimes not all libraries are shown in the menu. In a separate window with its scrollbar you do not have this problem. 6.) Ability to collapse the functions: A kind of Treeview Only the fully expanded functions could be stepped through. Thus for these clicking on the Next-Step would go to the function-header, next- step then would go to the next statement in the calling function. This would allow the expanding/collapsing if functions at will, and would make it easier to look through a JS-Library. It should be possible to collapse all functions with a single click or to expand all of them. 7.) Ability to assign the function-key to functions line Next- statement, step-over, step-out, etc. It would be nice to have some ready-made alternatives like Visual- Studio, etc Possibly later I find some more suggestions, but I think these are enough to start with.
