X-Ray for Firefox 3

The X-Ray extension has been updated to work with Firefox 3. Actually, it’s been updated for quite a while but it’s still waiting on someone to approve it on the addons.mozilla site.

Since so many people have been asking me when the new version is going to be posted I’ve decided to start making it available directly from Design Meme again. This will go along with a number of updates and an all around increase in the amount of content and activity you see here on the site. If you only stop by once in a while, why not subscribe to our feed so you’ll know when we’ve got more new stuff to share.

If this is your first time using X-Ray, it lets you “see through” a webpage to the HTML tags underneath. Right-click on a page and select ‘x-ray’ to view the various elements on the page, without switching back and forth between the sourcecode.

The companion extension, Professor X, is also being updated and should be ready for download in the next few days.

Install X-Ray version 0.9

    Hi Stuart,

    We’re working really hard to get things flowing on AMO and I hope that you’ll continue to submit X-Ray to AMO.

    Bear with us while we get past this current deluge of add-on reviews.

    Thanks Rey,

    I’ve submitted v0.9 to AMO this morning, and v0.8.2 has been pending for a while. I’m happy for both of those to be available there as well as here. Maybe you can get someone to take a look and see what the hold-up is. The only difference between v0.8.1 (AMO current) and v0.8.2 was the change in the browser # in the install file. v0.9 changes the header section to make it easier for people to see if a new version has been posted.

    :)

    Yes!!! So glad to see this add-on back in the green!! This has to be one of my favorite add-ons.

    It saves me a ton of time on a really repetitive task for some of the projects I do at work – I missed it while it was being reviewed for FF3

    Glad to have it back!! Thanks!!
