Firefox11 Has Developer Tools. In 3D!

By TechTaffy Desk

A new Firefox is here, with goodies for developers and a sync-functionality that can also be used by the lesser mortals who do not speak CSS.

Firefox for Windows, Mac and Linux  now includes developer tools that represent the structure of websites in a new way that Mozilla says makes it easier to live-edit CSS code. The first is a visual layout tool unique to Firefox, Page Inspector 3D View. Nicknamed Tilt, it is a WebGL-based website visualization tool that highlights the structure of a page.

Besides, the new Firefox includes a new Style Editor tool, which allows developers to edit CSS stylesheets like a text editor and see changes instantly, entirely within the browser.

Firefox has also introduced an add-on sync, giving users the option to sync add-ons between computers.
