Out-of-order HTML patching, another proposal from TPAC, lets HTML be presented non-linearly, and a single file can update multiple parts of the page.

The @firefoxdevtools.bsky.social JSON viewer got better in @firefoxnightly.bsky.social : the console offers access to the original json data via `$json`.
This allows to easily manipulate the underlying data to get what you want

![Firefox JSON Viewer opened for the html entites JSON file
We can see the various properties of the JSON file, which are all objects containing a "characters" and a "codepoints" properties.
The Console is opened at the bottom. In it, we can see a console message explaining that some data is available (`$json.data` - the parsed JSON object, $json.text` - the original JSON text and `$json.headers` - HTTP request and response headers)
There's a console evaluation done with the following snippet:
```js
Object.entries($json.data)
.filter(([k, v]) => v.codepoints.length > 1)
.map(([k, v]) => ({characters: v.characters, htmlEntity: k, codepoints: v.codepoints}))
```
and the result shows an array of objects containing "characters", "htmlEntity" and "codepoints" properties.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l6jizqbrtfnhnrd7vmsqmi3n/bafkreigizqr72frwj6qa53onh2tskqmcmrydexkzeydrkrarwiuoyulcmq@jpeg)

New in Firefox nightly (146.0a1 2025-10-19): large lists of unused CSS custom properties are collapsed by default.
This not only reduces clutter, it also massively speeds up the rendering of the inspector panel in some cases.
