Replay.io

FWIW, the Firefox devs who were doing the WebReplay time travel debugging POC weren't, as far as I know, fired. Instead, they left and started Replay ( https://replay.io ), a true time-traveling debugger for JavaScript. I joined Replay as a senior front-end dev a year ago. It's real, it works, we're building it, and it's genuinely life-changing as a developer :) Not sure how well this would have fit into Firefox as a specific feature, given both the browser C++ runtime customizations and cloud wizardry needed to make this work. But kinda like Rust, it's a thing that spun out of Mozilla and has taken on a life of its own. Obligatory sales pitch while I'm writing this: The basic idea of Replay: Use our special browser to make a recording of your app, load the recording in our debugger, and you can pause at any point in the recording. In fact, you can add print statements to any line of code, and it will show you what it would have printed _every time that line of code ran_! From there, you can jump to any of those print statement hits, and do typical step debugging and inspection of variables. So, it's the best of both worlds - you can use print statements and step debugging, together, at any point in time in the recording. See https://replay.io/record-bugs for the getting started steps to use Replay, or drop by our Discord at https://replay.io/discord and ask questions.

Orion Browser

I've been downvoted here for voicing this same opinion for a long time. Consider switching Orion (a fork of Safari WebKit, Mac only, still beta though) - https://browser.kagi.com/ - and PaleMoon (a hard fork of Firefox), as they are the only browsers that respect your zero-telemetry wish, when you toggle the right settings. Vivaldi browser (a Chromium fork) comes a distant second because it insists on phoning home everytime you use the browser, and Vivaldi has publicly said they will not turn that off as turning off those analytics impairs their monetizing options.

Servo

Maybe it's time to focus more on servo, a browser engine written in rust, originally created, but later abandoned by Mozilla. Seems like it starts rolling again. https://servo.org/.
