Dust-Me Selectors: Now Compatible With Firefox 3!

by James Edwards

Today we released Dust-Me Selectors Version 2.1, the handy Firefox extension that trawls through your style sheets and cleans up unused selectors.

The primary change with this version was to add support for Firefox 3. Making this change wasn’t a difficult task for me — all I had to was upgrade to Version 1.0 (beta 3) of base2, and add a couple of UI tweaks.

Firefox 3 support aside, you should notice no huge difference in the performance or feature set.

For more information, to read documentation and to install the new version, check out Dust-Me Selectors on sitepoint.com.

Incidentally, if you’re interested in getting the most out of Firefox 3, you might like to check out our free eBook, Firefox 3 Revealed, available for download now.

  1. Great, I have been waiting for this. :)

     
  2. nice, use this extension quite a bit

     
  3. sounds good for a bit of css optimization

  6. Thanks A LOT (i starved for this update :D )

     
  7. Any plans for checking embedded stylesheets as well as external stylesheets?

    P.S. Hello James and Ben.

     
  8. Hmmm, it says that it isn’t compatible with Firefox 3.0.1.

     
  9. Sorry, my bad! Please grab the 2.11 update and you should be fine.

     
  10. Is there a limit to the size of the site map that this plugin can spider? (or the size of the resulting datafile). I have a large site, the complete sitemap is about 20meg. I had to divide it into four parts to get it to run (and it takes about a day to parse each file). It seems to stop towards the end and won’t go any further…
