Great list of ideas ... A few comments: > Maybe we can extend the Firebug inspector to show the box hierarchy and/or > the boxes that the selected box is directly related to. The inspector already does this when inspecting an element using the layout tab ... the parent element is highlighted using the image and a dotted red border. If you would like anything else like this then just let me know.
> Javascript edit and go The Firefox extension called Phoenix can do this. It has a simple text editor but the changes don't appear inside of Firebug. > Firebug should support multiple simultaneous views of more than one panel There are improvements planned for the XUL:Panel (https:// wiki.mozilla.org/XUL:Panel_Improvements). One particular section relates to the multiple simultaneous panel idea: "A dock button on the titlebar to dock the panel into the main window. It would appear as, for example, a sidebar. Events would be needed when a panel switches between these states to update any UI that might be different. For instance, while a titlebar might appear while docked, it won't be a native titlebar, although some platforms may be able to render it as such. In the future, drag and drop of panels to dock them may be an option. A dockbutton attribute would put a button on the titlebar to dock and undock the panel. The attribute would have no effect if a titlebar wasn't present. An API should exist to dock and undock the panel; this would ideally work even if the button wasn't present."
