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

I'm not sure there's much to discuss. Firefox 27 is already released, and we do want to move off of Dev Mode sooner or later for other reasons. I don't feel comfortable asking them to bring back an API that they never officially supported anyway and it seems unlikely that they'd agree. Running Firefox 24 seems like an acceptable workaround.

Regarding the Firefox-specific debugger API's, I'm not sure it's worth even figuring out if it's feasible or not since our plan is to move to Super Dev Mode. But if someone wants to take a look then go ahead.

Would anyone like to follow up the last comment on the bugzilla thread, where a FF dev claims that:

Most C++ JSAPI usage in extensions can in fact be replaced by a combination of privileged script and the debugger APIs

I assume we wouldn't be seeing this thread if that was really true as you guys would have just updated the plugin.
