This Week in DevTools (November 5, 2019)
Patrick Brosset
Watchpoints will soon be enabled in Nightly and Dev Edition! Now you will be able to break when any property is accessed!
Source Tree’s “Set Project Root” has been fixed, including thread and extension support — thank you Chujun!
Console
You can use Ctrl + O and Control + S (Cmd + O and Cmd + S on macOS) to open a file and save the content input to a file — Bug 1592308
$0 (use the select node in the inspector) now works in the Omniscient Browser Toolbox, no matter which process the selected node lives in — Bug 1580165
Fixed a race condition that may lead to duplicated messages when opening the console — Bug 1578138
Fixed a small performance regression on console opening — Bug 1590093
Fixed a regression on CSS Warnings where it wasn’t possible to see the impacted elements anymore — Bug 1593654
Layout/Mobile Tools
Compatibility panel
About to land the first version of the new tool in mozilla-central
Quality fixes
Fixed a bug that causes the rules view to go blank when inspecting visited links.
First suggestion for showing the operating systems and browser versions in the responsive design mode device list overview.
Responsive Design Mode
Landing of Bug 1561227 makes full zoom work correctly with resolution zooming. This was the last blocker for us turning on the devtools.responsive.metaViewport.enabled pref by default. This will be a staged pref rollout in FF 72.
Network Monitor
Many RTL fixes (contributed by Itiel)
Improvements to the WebSocket Monitor
Prefers to show formatted JSON (over plain text)
Improved JSON parsing (ignoring primitives)
Application Panel
Working on fixing broken SW stuff
Perf improvements
Nicolas started to lazy load several console modules, leading to a smaller bytesize for the initial load of the Console.

[julian] checkin-needed keyword removed from Bugzilla, you need to do it from Phabricator -> Edit Revision -> Tags -> checkin needed
