856787 - "Page Style" menu should be accessible within the Dev Tools box

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools :: Inspector, defect)

Description

[Wes Kocher (:KWierso) (Not reading bugmail; email directly if needed)]

It'd be nice if the ability to change stylesheets from the View - Page Style submenu (No style, default, alternative, etc) was accessible within the devtools, so we don't have to dig into the main Firefox menus to change the stylesheets.

This is kind of a niche thing. Bug 611569 wants to hide it from the view menu. 

Perhaps the best place for it is a command, which would mean that people could add a button to the toolbar to make it easier, but for people that didn't care, it wouldn't be in the way.

I'd be fine if selecting stylesheets was an item in Inspector too.  Just that getting to the full menu is kind of a pain, and disabling CSS is really handy.  On broken pages, pages that fail to degrade gracefully w/ noscript, when developing a site..  Don't think a submenu in dev menu for stylesheet selection would be that odd - I'd use it far more often than half the stuff in the dev menu right now...

The trouble with a submenu in the developer tools menu is that it doesn't work if you're debugging a remote window, or chrome window, etc. I think we'd generally like to keep that menu as small as possible.

it has alternate styles sometimes, too. like on this website, for example, try selecting classic.
