Firefox 30 for developers

• A Box Model Highlighter has been implemented (Firefox bug 663778).
• Anywhere a DOM node appears in the console output, it is highlighted when you hover over that console output (Firefox bug 757866). Similarly all JS functions and objects are highlighted in the console output (Firefox bug 584733). More information about the console improvement can be found in this blog post.
• Support for console.count() has been added (Firefox bug 922208).

• The property background-blend-mode has been enabled by default (Firefox bug 970600).
• The non-standard overflow-clip-box property has been implemented for use in UA stylesheets only (Firefox bug 966992).
• The line-height property now affects single-line text inputs (<input type=text|password|email|search|tel|url|unknown> types) although it cannot shrink them below a line height of 1.0 (Firefox bug 349259).
• The line-height property now also affects type=button, with no restrictions (Firefox bug 697451).
• Change to keyframes' name does not affect current elements (Firefox bug 978648).

No change.

• New ES2015-compatible array comprehensions [for (item of iterable) item] and generator comprehensions (for (item of iterable) item) have been implemented (Firefox bug 979865).
• Typed arrays are now extensible and support new named properties (Firefox bug 695438).
• The Error.prototype.stack property now contains column numbers (Firefox bug 762556) and has been improved when using Function() and eval() calls. This can help you to better debug minified or generated JavaScript code.
• The Promise.cast() method has been renamed to Promise.resolve() (Firefox bug 966348).

• Navigator.sendBeacon has been implemented, easing telemetry collection (Firefox bug 936340).
• Added a relList property returning a DOMTokenList to HTMLLinkElement, HTMLAreaElement and HTMLAnchorElement (Firefox bug 968637).

• The method Navigator.requestWakeLock() and the non-standard MozWakeLock are no longer available from the Web on Desktop (Firefox bug 963366).
• The DOM_VK_ENTER constant has been removed from KeyboardEvent (Firefox bug 969247).

• The non-standard ArchiveReader and ArchiveRequest are no longer exposed to the Web (Firefox bug 968883).
• WebIDL constructors cannot be called as functions anymore. They need to be preceded by the keyword new. (Firefox bug 916644)
• Added support for a new value (alpha) for the second, optional, parameter of the HTMLCanvasElement.getContext() method allowing to define if alpha blending must be stored or not for this context. When not, the per-pixel alpha value in this store is always 1.0. This allows the back-end to implement a fast-track. (Firefox bug 982480)
• GlobalWorkerScope.console now returns for the regular console; WorkerConsole has been removed (Firefox bug 965860).

• On Linux, Gstreamer 1.0 is now supported (instead of 0.10) (Firefox bug 806917).

No change.

• The interface nsIDOMWindowUtils now supports the Boolean attribute audioMuted and audioVolume, a float in the range [0.0 , 1.0], allowing to control the sound produced by a window (that is any tab or iframe). There is no UI for this, but is available to add-ons. (Firefox bug 923247)
