Are you using a build of Firefox that you made yourself? If so, be sure to build the dom-utils component - it is normally included with DOM Inspector if you get a stock build.
I am also seeing the same issue with Firebug (just downloaded a few minutes ago) and Firefox 2.0. It's not a custom build of Firefox and I definitely have the DOM inspector installed.
When selecting an element in the HTML tree, the "Style" tab in the right pane says "Unable to show styles. You must install DOM Inspector."
I even tried it with the DOM Inspector already up and running for the page, no difference.

Ditto with Firefox 2.0 on Windows. DOM Inspector definitely installed and working.

Same problem under Linux using the official FF 2.0 build downloaded minutes ago.
Just a note to say I have the same issue, and DOM Inspector is definitely installed.
Also I have to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the developer for creating Firebug. It is quite simply everything I ever wished I had for debugging browser markup, scripts, and CSS. I donated first time around, will donate more on this release, and encourage everyone else to do so.
