Description Christian Lenz 2013-07-22 16:37:03 UTC

I used the nice Chrome with Netbeans integration but my favorite browser is Firefox, maybe the same feature could be created for firefox? That would be great.

That would be nice but realistically I do not think this is going to happen in a foreseeable future. It's a major undertaking because browser APIs are utterly different and maintaining and developing two plugins for two different platforms demands lots of resources. Sorry.

Taking over.

There is a  remotedebug.org (https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=248312) and probably some analogues that are trying to unify browser debugging interfaces.
Maybe it would be good to unify browser debugging using such tools?
I see a huge gain of being compatible with all browsers.

Actually we need more this https://github.com/auchenberg/remotedebug-firefox-bridge.
Because remote debug uses Chrome remote debugging protocol, and this is a bridge to be able to debug with Firefox.

https://github.com/campd/valence Take a look here.
Joining valence team, and implementing support of those protocol could gave us ability to debug any browser we want.
Isn't it a good idea?

Another option is VorlonJS ( http://vorlonjs.com/ ). This seems to be the most browser-agnostic solution so far.
