Firefox CSS live editing via SublimeText

A lot of editors are scriptable in Python. And Firefox has remote capabilities. So we are building a python library that can be used by editors to interact with Firefox (desktop or mobile). We could for example add JS breakpoints from Vim, or edit the code of the current page from SublimeText.
