971692 - Responsive Design View should support multiple sizes at once

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1130173

(DevTools :: Responsive Design Mode, defect)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

I can switch to responsive design mode so I can see how well my website works on a mobile phone. Good. But there's a lot of blank grey space on that page. I'd really like to see, at the same time, what it looks like on various different sizes and resolutions of mobile phones.

So, it should be possible to have multiple "views" on the page open at once, at different resolutions. (I believe that this became possible a little while ago.) And for the larger resolutions, perhaps unless they were primary (leftmost) they could be scaled down 2:1 or 3:1. I could still see what the layout did even if I couldn't read all the text.

That would make the Responsive Design view much more of a design dashboard. Tweak the CSS, and look for the effect on all screen sizes.

We indeed plan to do this!

Bug 1130173 has slightly more detail, so duping there.
