Hi

are there plans to integrate a function like “Show / Hide HTML comments” into the dev tools?

I find these very useful to hide debug comments to better recognize the html structure.

Chrome has this option. Would be useful to have it in Firefox too.

I looked for a bug in bugzilla for this, but couldn’t find one, so I opened a new one: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show\_bug.cgi?id=1455294](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1455294)

This is hopefully a simple enough one, and I can probably help if anyone is interested in trying it out.

Do you want to try working on this feature?  
If so, that would be great.  
There are docs about contributing to DevTools here: [http://docs.firefox-dev.tools/](http://docs.firefox-dev.tools/)

Feel free to ask questions on the [bug](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1455294) if you need help.

Unfortunately not. See the bug @pbro linked to in the previous comment.
