Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
We will need a presentation of developer tools that is separate from the browser window for a number of reasons:
- Users with multiple monitors
- Mobile developers initiating connections to remote devices
- Add-on developers
- Firefox developers
2. Users & use cases
User with Multiple Monitors
A user with multiple monitors wants to put their tools on one monitor while they have their main browsing window open on the other monitor.
3. Dependencies
4. Requirements
- Controls to pop the tools out into a separate window
- Ability to use the Developer Toolbar to switch views
- Web Console available from all views
- Reload the page from the tools window
- Ability to connect to remote browsers
Non-goals

Stage 2: Design
5. Functional specification
`
6. User experience design
See this presentation for some design points. The general idea is that the user will be able to pop tools out into windows.
Rob also suggested on a dev-apps-firefox thread that tools should be logically grouped so as not to have a huge collection of windows.
