What's new in 4.2

Thanks to Halkion for the review that suggested these changes.

  • Close MobiDevTools completely. The ✕ removes the panel and the floating button, gives the page its space back and stays closed after a reload. Reopen it from the toolbar button (desktop) or menu › Extensions (Android).
  • Outline on the selected element. After you pick an element it keeps a blue outline with tag, id, classes and size, like the Firefox inspector. It follows scrolling and layout changes and goes away with Esc, a new pick or when the node is removed.
  • Panel shrinks while picking. During inspection the panel becomes a thin bar with Cancel, so it no longer covers the page.
  • Fixed: the panel's shadow no longer stays visible at the bottom of the page when the panel is closed.
  • New test suite on real Firefox, desktop and phone layout: 74 checks.
