I have Firefox ESR 17.0.4. When I installed Firefox, it came with something called Web Developer. It's not an Addon, it's not an Extension, and it's not a Plugin. I've checked the Add-On page and it's not there. Also, I went to my profile folder within the %APPDATA% folder (%APPDATA%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles), and I can't find it in there anywhere.

I just want to get this program gone lol. Has anyone been successful in doing this?

Various Web Developer tools each have their own pref on the about:config page to enable or disable them.

You can search for devtools.*.enabled via the Search bar at the top of the about:config page.

  • devtools.debugger.enabled
  • devtools.errorconsole.enabled
  • devtools.inspector.enabled
  • devtools.layoutview.enabled
  • devtools.responsiveUI.enabled
  • devtools.ruleview.enabled
  • devtools.scratchpad.enabled
  • devtools.styleeditor.enabled
  • devtools.tilt.enabled (3D View)
  • devtools.toolbar.enabled

Hi Zanneaji,

The default Web Developer tool for Firefox is a Great tool for Web Developers. Usually it's not visible in the browser window. Please let us know why do You want to disable this feature.

And I think, we cannot disable this, as its an inbuilt feature of Firefox.

PMJ,

As a Web Developer and programmer, I like to have control over what's "running" so to speak. I'm working on macros with keyboard shortcuts, and one of the keyboard shortcuts I've been asked to use within the Firefox interface is CTRL+SHIFT+S. In Firefox, that shortcut launches the Web Developer Debugger. I know I can edit system files to remap the Web Developer Debugger, but I don't want to have to do that manually for each user that's going to be using my macros. With the Evisions software we're using, it's only Firefox compatible atm.

I don't know why Firefox would install something like this as part of it's browser, but it really should be an addon. There's loads of people who want Web Developer uninstalled from Firefox, and I haven't seen any success stories in doing so.

For some reason about:config wasn't working, however I added this to pref.js, and it worked! Thanks =)
