I see you wrote about FireRainbow. Will there be more support for it?
I'm asking because it's really nice to have it (more readable code), but
watching variables is a mess - AFAIK only way to copy a JS code from the
script window is to use CTRL+C. If you use a drop down menu to copy code
or add watch it will copy HTML formatted code instead of pure JS.

Best regards,
Maciej Jaros.

PS: I see Chromebug is missing (commented out) on the release page. Any
particular reason? Is it currentlly not stable enough?

FireRainbow is actively developed by Antonin Hildebrand (aka darwin).
I think the best way how to make sure a bug is fixed is to create a
report. I believe the official issue list is here:
http://github.com/darwin/firerainbow/issues

But is it doable on Firerainbow side at all? I mean wouldn't it have to
overwrite some Firebug function? Because I think it would have to change
getSourceLinesFrom to strip HTML or something... And I think then it
would also have to change copyToClipboard to set the data type. I've
found some interesting tutorial here:
http://xulplanet.mozdev.org/tutorials/xultu/clipboard.html
If I understood correctly setting DataFlavor to text/html would work in
this case, but I'm not sure if it wouldn't break copying strings in some
other place...

Nux.

It's partly that Chromebug wasn't working well and partly a matter of
audience. I think now Chromebug is working rather well, but I also
guess that it has a small audience of users most of whom just use it
out of SVN. I may make a release soon, to see how to goes.

>>> CSS Selector Search (maybe not part of 1.5)

How this feature would work? Why would it be useful?

This feature might be better described as "HTML Element search by CSS
Selector".

Currently an option in the search UI turns it on, then the search
strings act like selectors.

I want this feature to help me design CSS selectors that pick the
right elements or to experiment with selectors to see what elements
they might match.

I actually want it for Chromebug, to help with Firebug testing. But I
guess Firebug users will also like it.
