Firefox dev tools are sometimes painful to use and lacks some important features which Chrome's has.

Some examples:

- debugging with source maps: it doesn't work properly (I can set breakpoints and debug variables content on typescript files in Chrome, but not in FF)

- JS exceptions: clicking on the filename inside the stack opens a new window with the source of the JS file, not the debugger (ugh)

- doesn't support typescript highlighting

Did you try the Fx DevEdition? I know of some recent Source Map related changes. If the issue persists (same with the other issues you mention), would you mind filing a bug [1]?

Yup, I tried FF Dev Edition a month ago, same thing. Maybe I will try again later after updating

On the other hand, the network tab in the dev tools actually knows how to parse incoming JSON, unlike Chrome which only renders a string.
