FF version: Developer Edition 57.0b14 (64-bit) problem: cannot find the disable breakpoint button in the devtools.

FF version: Developer Edition 57.0b14 (64-bit) problem: cannot find the disable breakpoint button in the devtools.

Chosen solution

Clear. I just asked some developers and it was confirmed the button was removed / moved to a checkbox in the breakpoints pane in order to declutter the step button.

The link above is the best place to refer to - I guess any videos and screenshots will be updated in a while to no longer include the button and cause any confusion.

Unfortunately not. The problem is that the "disable all breakpoints" icon is not showing up. in this page is not there either, so maybe they removed it for good.

I tried the "global" checkbox in the breakpoints area and it only toggles the breakpoints that are defined within the browser devtools. If you have a "debugger" statement in your code, it will stop no matter the state of that checkbox. This can be the intended behavior, but personally I don't find it so useful as it could be.
