Javascript's alert does not work in responsive design mode

Developer Tools
#1

Hi,

When working in responsive design mode, using javascript alert() doesn’t do anything.

This is really frustrating for debugging and sometimes I think that the page is cached or something else is wrong before I remember alerts just do not work in responsive design mode.

So now everytime I test my sites for mobile I use chrome, which sucks because I hate chrome and want to use firefox.

What is the reasoning behind this? I’m sure alerts work on mobile, so why when im emulating mobile will they not work.

I am using firefox developer edition 58.0b11.

Thanks,

Trent

This would be https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1273997… sorry, I don’t know any more than what you can read in that bug report.

This is the most annoying bug ever… please fix it or give us back the ability to use older firebug. I spend hours of my time forgetting about this and trying to figure out why things dont work. I am on the latest ESR and this should be corrected there!
