For Firefox users (like me), you can copy paste the content of this file [1] in the debugger, it also works.

Now someone just has to make this into an extension – firefox extensions are just as easy to make as chrome extensions, so it shouldn’t be an issue.

Just tried this out of curiosity and you're right: https://github.com/insin/show-me-the-react

  npm install -g jpm
  git clone [email protected]:insin/show-me-the-react.git
  cd show-me-the-react
  jpm run

Nice! I wrote the Chrome version -- I'll link the README to your extension for Firefox.

Showing/hiding the button or changing its state for the current tab seems so comparatively painful to do with a Firefox addon (versus Chrome's declarativeContent API) that the fork is no better than using the bookmarklet which does this, at the moment.

Ah! I was wondering how you did that (and what Firefox supported).

The Chrome page actions are a little buggy in UX -- when you click the icon, sometimes the URL autocomplete comes down. Maybe it is supposed to and you can put something there programmatically but I don't like it when it drops down. So a fixed icon might not be so bad.
