My suggestion is to use the Esr version of Firefox. 17.0.5 I think is latest.
They are supposed to be for enterprise to use in place of the rapid releases and should be updated only every 5-6 major firefox versions, so good for months at a time for gwt dev.
Of course, you will of course need to use the latest firefox for any "before-go-live" deployment, but at least your dev environment can avoid breaking every 6 weeks.

Awesome, thank you. My folly was not checking the Add-ons page before trying the upgrade.
(Arguably Firefox could introduce some sort of a prompt that there are new plugin versions available and offer to restart Firefox, which I haven't done in a while).

Hi there,
Today the Firefox browser prompted me with the next recommended upgrade, version 20, and told me that the GWT Dev Mode plugin would be clobbered. I haven't seen anyone else post about FF20 and so hopefully this'll be the post to follow update once the GWT team publishes the compatible DM plugin revision.
