My Dream Firefox IDE, Again

Still here. I just got a response to my Eclipsing Firefox post in the Technorati feed (don’t ask me why it took 10 days for this to show up). I just want to stress that I’m not talking about a XUL editor here. I want something to smooth the whole develop, debug, deploy cycle when creating a new Firefox extension. As far as I’m concerned, the only place it makes sense to do this is inside Firefox.

Since no one seems to have jumped on the chance to make my personal dream IDE a reality, it looks like I’m going to have to do it myself. My plan is to create a minimal implementation that makes most of my pain go away with the least possible time investment (I do have a day job, after all). Then we’ll see. I still need to make a new version of Scrumptious first (I’m using it daily and I like my dog food tasty, thank you). But hopefully I’ll crank something out pretty soon.

  2. I would love to this materialize!

    At the same time I would also like to recruit a developer for firefox extension development.

    If you are interested lets open a dialog. Thanks.
