Re: Development Mode will not be supported in Firefox 27+

For the direction of an open source project, people who volunteer to do actual coding are more important than marketing efforts by people who only want to be users. The intersection of GWT developers and Firefox browser developers seems to be the empty set, so we have very limited influence.

This is a challenging time and migration can be painful, but this decision fundamentally isn't up to us. We need to move forward. I think a more promising direction for people who want to improve GWT on Firefox would be to investigate problems with the Firefox debugger and contribute patches that make it practical to use.

People, this has been going on since beginning of February with no action on the part of Mozilla.  I have create a new mozilla bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=996947 which is about the fact that GWT developper does not work in Firefox any longer.  I have proposed a workaround solution that I think is reasonable for Mozilla and the GWT developper community.  The only way we will get some traction on this is if every developper interested in having GWT developper working on Firefox (and I would think there are probably several hundreds if not thousands) should then create a bugzilla Mozilla account and vote on this bug (please remember to click change my vote to record your vote).  You can also add yourself on the CC list to get updated.  I am sure that if Mozilla gets a few hundred votes they will come up with something to get GWT developper plugin working again on Firefox.  Please forward this text to all the people who you think will be interested in voting.  Lets get the word out it can have a exponential effect.
