I say "was" because as of Firefox 62, it has been removed. The Developer Toolbar was an alternate command repl input in the Firefox Developer tools, apart from the Web Console. Dan Callahan goes much deeper on the grooviness to be found and how Firefox makes it easy to tweak these new custom values. In addition to the candy-store possibilities for typography nerds, being able to serve a single file with multiple variants is a major page weight savings. These can be standard variations like font weight (font weight 536 looks right? no problem!) or things that were never previously available via CSS (x-height! serif-size!). In addition to being in one file, font creators can expose any number of variation axes that give developers fine-grained control on how a font is rendered. No punny title, I'm just excited! OpenType Font Variations allow a single font file to contain multiple instances of the same font, encoding the differences between instances. You can learn more in Josh Marinacci's post on the new CSS Shapes tooling from yesterday. There are of course great docs on all of this, but Firefox 62 also includes new tooling to both inspect and visually manipulate CSS Shapes values. There are properties for basic shapes all the way up to complex polygons. For instance, in the above screenshot and linked demo, the text is wrapping to the shape of the grapes vs the image's border.
