Like the module but have a suggestion for how the information is presented. Having never written a Firefox extension this may be off the wall.

Consider how when you iinspect an element the left pane has the html and the right pane details about the select element. So I think it would be nice for the Drupal extension in the left pane was an index and the right pane the detail. For example for nodes the left pane might look something like

A node title (23)
  load
  alter
  view

Another node title (45)
   load
   view

Clicking an op (load, alter, view, etc) would show the appropriate details in the right pane.

Just a thought

Title: Like the module » More Dynamic Display of Data in FireFox Extension

I think this is a great idea and is definitely possible to do in the context of a FireFox extension. There is even the ability to have it show and hide the data in a way that is similar to how the DOM browsing works in FireBug.

My specific XUL skills are pretty weak at the moment, but if someone has some chops around this its pretty easy to modify the FireFox extension after its been installed and I would be happy to roll any changes into the next release of the FireFox extension.

I agree that we need a clickable hierarchy for viewing deep objects like the View object. I actually think this module might be better implemented differently. Have a look at the dfb() solution in devel for D6. This integrates Drupal with the FirePHP project. The piece that this module does is to listen on hook_user(load) or hook_nodeapi() and send the data to dfb(). The rest is done after that. I can give more detail if thats unclear. This leaves the Firebug programming to to the experts :)

Thanks to some awesome work from joshk, the latest FireFox extension 0.0.5 and drupal 5/6 branches of the module supports jquery + collapsible fieldset functionality.
