Developer Tools

  • Removed an unwanted white space for multiple of 10,000 in Korean counter styles (bug 985186).
  • CSS opacity transition broken with parent pseudo :before and overflow auto (bug 990340).

Changes for add-on and Mozilla developers

  • The "align" attribute on the urlbar-wrapper (formerly on the urlbar-container) which was set to "center" since time immemorial, has been removed. This is known to affect third-party themes. You should look carefully at what the right fix is for your theme, but for maintaining the equivalent effect, you can add the following CSS rule to your theme:
    #urlbar-wrapper {
      -moz-box-align: center;
    }
  • nsIDOMWindowUtils.sendQueryContentEvent() and nsIDOMWindowUtils.sendSelectionSetEvent() have aAdditionalFlags as optional argument. If you called nsIDOMWindowUtils.sendSelectionSetEvent() with true for aReverse, the behavior would be broken by this change. See explanation of each flag (QUERY_CONTENT_FLAG_* and SELECTION_SET_FLAG_*) for the detail of aAdditionalFlags.

Add-on SDK
