Why is the screen white

[ltr...@icloud.com]

Firefox debugger now make screen transparent white to show its in debug mode but how stupid is it as a tool that is use to visual and functionally alter the color or anything of a project that someone working on to make it look different. The debug message at the top of the web page isn't enough to tell a Dev he or she is in debug mode. And scratch pad is being remove honestly scratch pad could be a simple text editors for Firefox lover to use why not expand Mozilla why not even in the most little things you use to have a mail desktop application you use to push and other project.

Bug 1579768 landed for the upcoming Firefox 71 release, which adds a preference named `devtools.debugger.features.overlay` that you can disable if you visit about:config

Hi there,

I will address it as it had some of your points and hope for further constructive feedback.

For the debugger overlay, we did land a pref that allows you to switch it off (devtools.debugger.features.overlay) and will expose it in UI later as well. We had positive feedback on the feature itself, as compared to other tools, Firefox's paused state was very subtle and could have gone unnoticed. We will surely collect more feedback on the overlay and improve upon it to make it less obtrusive while solving the aforementioned problem.

Removing Scratchpad is not an easy decision, as it has some strong advocates. We did interview many of them and pulled their feedback into Console's new multi-line editor mode. This also helps to bring the benefits of Scratchpad to a broader audience in one of our most-used panels. We will continue moving use cases from Scratchpad, like load/save or onload-execution, over to the editor mode based on user feedback.

Regards,

/Harald

Dear ltr4lf,

the other responses already addressed the substance of your question, but I would like to focus on its form as well. In your email you used language that was derogatory and demeaning, which is not an acceptable form of discourse in this channel. I will take this opportunity to remind you and everyone else on this list that participation is governed by our Community Participation Guidelines:

Please try to form your feedback in a more constructive manner in the future, so that we can keep this list a place we all enjoy collaborating in.

Thank you,

Panos
