While I am technically no longer on the team, I got curious and started looking at the FF14 changes.

There were some slight changes in the JS Object layout again but they seem easy enough to fix.

I have built it for Linux 32 bit: http://acleung.com/ff14-linux32.xpi

Hi Alan,

    Too bad to hear this news. Hope someone can continue to work on this devmode.

maybe we should all vote somewhere to make jetbrains/the eclipse guys
support source maps in their javascript debuggers asap? seems like a
better option to me than maintaining an unmaintained plugin in the long run

Is it possible to have some community mechanism to separate the FX GWT plugin so that we don't have to have this discussion every single time a new FX comes up in 6 weeks?

What do you mean by "community mechanism"? and "separate the Firefox GWT plugin"?

Hi Alan,

I might be asking the wrong person, but any chance of compiling a mac version of the updated plugin for FF 14?

Thanks,

What I mean is it is extremely annoying to be working with GWT when the plugin keeps constantly breaking. Whatever it takes to fix this situation would make everyone's life easy. The environment we got is Win32/XP on Firefox and when it automatically updates, time and again, it's extremely frustrating.

Same problem with last Chrome update earlier this morning... dev mode does not work... any pointers.. tried reinstalling with chrome://extensions drop-in, redoing everything, whitelisting ips the works... keeps on wanting to reinstall.. completely broken with Chrome and also have noticed some layout behaviour change on apps, which is unrelated.... Maybe worthwile to start new thread..

The Chrome plugin has been broken for a long time and for FF just disable automatic updates and update manually when the plugin gets updated.

Also now there's superdevmode, that unless your project is really big works really good, in every browser and I'm even using it on the iPad.

Complaining every time a new FF version comes out wont solve anything, I don't think having a website tested on FF13 for one week, until the plugin gets updated, will affect anyone's business. Its not like the compiled code is incompatible with FF14...

Use superdevmode, disable autoupdate or learn how to update the plugins yourself.

This is why we disabled the updates on all our dev FF installs. Only upgrade FF if you must. But don't complain to Alan here, it is not his fault that the FF team decided to shot themselves in both feet and forfeit their marketshare.

Thank you for jumping in and building the plugins. Do you know if someone else "from the team" will jump in? Just curious...

I know I am a slightly off-topic here, I just don't want to start another thread.

It might be that OSX users, especially Safari users don't have a big end-user market share. I have no hard data, but I would not agree it's the same when it comes down to the developers. Since Safari 5.1 we can't use it anymore (Omniweb sucks) and Chrome is not an option (way too slow). We are stuck with Firefox. 

Is there any plan to get the situation on OSX any better? At least make Chome DevMode usable?

Many thanks to Allan!


ALL: Please star this issue!!!!:


it might help to have better support for GWT devmode development (GWT plugin) for Chrome, and we can forget about firefox.

Better devmode for chrome will be super devmode. I think the current plugin issue is a chrome bug that they seem to have no interest in fixing.

You better take a look at: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=4493#c24 and the two referenced chromium issues. It seems like that the chromium issues do not have a high priority since NPAPI may become obsolete in the future in favor of PPAPI.

Its well known that the Chrome Dev Mode plugin is slower compared to Firefox because it has to work around mentioned chromium issues.

Please uninstall and download from the official website.

The one hosted there is the official build without any debug symbol.

Hi Alan, I'm running Firefox 14 on my Fedora 16 64-bit machine, after upgrade to the latest dev mode plugin from your site, the plugin constantly output massive chunk of information to my console, which froze my browser right away. Do you have any suggestion on that? 

Thank you very much.
