Firefox 61 for developers 编辑

This article provides information about the changes in Firefox 61 that will affect developers. Firefox 61 was released on June 26, 2018.

Changes for web developers

Developer tools

The new-look Console UI has been enabled by default for the Browser Console & Browser Toolbox (bug 1362023/bug 1347127). The old UI has been removed.
In the Network Monitor, clicking Open in New Tab in a POST request's context menu correctly resends the request with the expected POST parameters (bug 1407515).
CSS variables now autocomplete with color swatches, allowing you to see exactly what color value is stored in each variable (bug 1451211).
- In addition, hovering over a CSS variable name brings up a tooltip showing what color value is stored in that variable (bug 1431949).
The main toolbox's toolbar has been redesigned. Highlights are better responsiveness for narrow and wide viewports with a new overflow dropdown, cleaned up meatball menu, and sortable tabs to let you move up your most used panels (bug 1226272).
The Network Monitor's toolbar now includes a dropdown menu providing easier access to the 'Copy All As HAR' and 'Save All As HAR' commands, as well as an 'Import...' option (bug 1403530).
The Network Monitor's details pane now includes a Cache tab, which displays information about previously cached resources (bug 859051).
The Network Monitor's main toolbar got redesigned to be more responsive on smaller viewports and visually aligned with the Console.
The Network Monitor's main toolbar now includes a Throttling dropdown which was only available in the Responsive Design Mode before. It allows you to throttle your network speed to emulate various different network speed conditions (bug 1349559).
The Browser Console now hides CSS errors by default for readability and performance reasons (bug 1452143).
The Browser Console now includes a command to restart the browser. Use Ctrl + Alt + R (Windows, Linux) or Cmd + Alt + R (Mac) to restart the browser with the same tabs open as before the restart.
DevTools' web extension APIs devtools.network.onRequestFinished (bug 1311171) and devtools.network.getHAR (bug 1311177) got implemented (enabling extensions like har-export-trigger).
The Firebug theme got removed since the transition of Firebug users into DevTools is complete (bug 1378108).

HTML

No changes.

CSS

CSS parsing has been parallelized (bug 1346988).
Support for font-variation-settings and font-optical-sizing has been enabled by default (bug 1447163).
The grid-gap, grid-row-gap, and grid-column-gap properties have been renamed to gap, row-gap, and column-gap, as they are no longer grid-specific (bug 1398482). See Box alignment; Gaps between boxes for additional details. The old names have been kept as aliases for web compatibility purposes.
The flex-basis content value is now supported (bug 1105111).
Percentage values of column-gap are now supported in CSS multi-column layout (bug 1398537).
The CSS :host pseudo-class is now supported; this selects a custom element from inside its shadow DOM (bug 992245).
overflow now accepts two-value syntax (bug 1453148).
Flex items that are sized according to their content are now sized using max-content, not fit-content (bug 1282821). See the width value definitions for more details of these values.
font-weight, font-stretch and font-style now support additional values as defined by CSS Fonts level 4 (bug 1436048):
- font-weight now accepts a floating-point value between 1 and 1000 inclusive.
- font-stretch now accepts percentage values.
- font-style now accepts an angle after the oblique keyword.
The @font-face descriptor equivalents of the three properties mentioned in the above entry also support the new syntax listed above, and additionally now support a two-value syntax allowing us to specify a range of descriptor values supported by a font-face (bug 1436061, bug 1436048).

SVG

The ping, rel, referrerPolicy, relList, hreflang, type and text properties have been added to the <a> element (SVGAElement) to be consistent with the HTML <a> element (bug 1451823).
The <textPath> element (SVGTextPathElement) now supports the SVG2 path and side attributes (bug 1446617 and bug 1446650).
The SVGGeometryElement interface is now supported for more elements and not just for the <path> element (bug 1325320).

JavaScript

The String.prototype.trimStart() and String.prototype.trimEnd() methods have been implemented (see bug 1434007). trimLeft and trimRight remain as aliases for web compatibility reasons.

APIs

New APIs

The PerformanceServerTiming API has been implemented. It surfaces server-side metrics sent via the Server-Timing header (bug 1423495).

DOM

The anchors, applets, embeds, forms, head, images, links, plugins, and scripts properties have been moved from the HTMLDocument interface onto Document (bug 1415588).
DOMTokenList.replace() now returns a boolean value to indicate whether the replacement occurred successfully, rather than void (bug 1444909).
The Fetch API's Request.credentials property now defaults to "same-origin" per the latest revision of the specification (bug 1394399).
The Request.destination property has been implemented (bug 1402892).
The MutationObserver option dictionary, MutationObserverInit, no longer has false as the default value of all of its Boolean properties. Now, only childList and subtree have default values (of false still). The other properties have no default values (bug 973638).
The Payment Request API method PaymentRequest.show() now supports using a Promise to let the client side code provide updated payment details prior to activating the payment interface (bug 1441709).

DOM events

No changes.

Service workers

The "Forget" button, available in Firefox's customization options, now clears service workers and their caches (bug 1252998).

Web Audio, Media and WebRTC

The AudioContext() constructor now accepts an optional options parameter of type AudioContextOptions. This lets you configure the preferred latency and/or sample rate for the new context.
Firefox now throws the correct exceptions when instantiation of an AudioBuffer fails.

WebVR

The WebVR API has been enabled by default on macOS (bug 1244242).

Canvas and WebGL

No changes.

CSSOM

The CSSStyleRule.selectorText property is now fully implemented and no longer read-only (bug 37468).
The MediaList interface implementation is now a little closer to the specification. It is not all the way there yet; for example, stringifier attributes haven't been implemented yet (bug 1455807).

HTTP

The cookie directive SameSite has been implemented. See Set-Cookie and HTTP cookies (bug 795346).

Networking

Firefox 61 and later no longer support using the FTP protocol (that is, URLs with the "ftp://" scheme) to load subresources from within HTML content. FTP is still supported as a top-level URL entered directly into the URL bar or loaded as a standalone document (bug 1404744).

Security

No changes.

Plugins

No changes.

Other

No changes.

Removals from the web platform

Developer tools

Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + O no longer shows/hides the DevTools options panel — use F1 instead (bug 1409456).

HTML

No changes.

CSS

@-moz-document has been disabled in content pages (bug 1422245).

APIs

The File interface's property lastModifiedDate has been removed (bug 1458883).
The Node.getUserData() and Node.setUserData() methods have been removed from the platform completely (bug 749981).
The Element.createShadowRoot() method has been removed. Use Element.attachShadow() instead (bug 1453789).
The MediaStream overload of the URL.createObjectURL() method has been removed (bug 1454889).

SVG

The deprecated (and never properly implemented) SVGViewElement.viewTarget property has been removed (bug 1455763).
The following deprecated properties have been removed from SVGSVGElement (bug 1133172):
- pixelUnitToMillimeterX
- pixelUnitToMillimeterY
- screenPixelToMillimeterX
- screenPixelToMillimeterY
The non-standard SVGNumber() constructor has been removed (bug 1455940).

Other

No changes.

Changes for add-on and Mozilla developers

WebExtensions

Autocomplete popups are now themeable (bug 1417883).
tabs.onUpdated now has a filter template (bug 1329507).
The default document colors can now be overridden, using browserSettings.overrideDocumentColors (bug 1417810).
tabs.query has been optimized with the implementation of some useful search/filter option parameters (bug 1445316).
You can now use permissions.request from an about:addons preferences page (bug 1382953).
You can now force web pages to use system fonts instead of the fonts they specify using the browserSettings.useDocumentFonts property (bug 1400805).
You can now cause browser search autocomplete suggestions to automatically open in a new tab rather than the current tab using thebrowserSettings.openUrlbarResultsInNewTabs property (bug 1432645).
You can control whether the user can close a tab using double-click with the browserSettings.closeTabsByDoubleClick property (bug 1435142).
The toolbar, toolbar_text, toolbar_field, toolbar_field_text, and toolbar_field_border theme manifest properties now also apply to the findbar (bug 1418605).
In sidebarAction.getPanel(), sidebarAction.getTitle(), sidebarAction.setPanel(), sidebarAction.setTitle(), and sidebarAction.setIcon(), you can now specify a windowId so that the features will be set/got only for a specific window (bug 1390464).
tabs.hide() and tabs.show() are now enabled by default (bug 1455040).
- The first time an extension hides a tab, the browser will tell the user that the tab is being hidden, show them how they can access the hidden tab, and give them the option of disabling the extension instead (bug 1438363).
