Firebug 2.0.18 'Inspect element with firebug' broken?

[Michael Chaplin]

If I try to right click an element to use 'Inspect element with firebug' it doesn't work anymore.

It opens on the body tag instead.

Is this by design?

Wait a few moments, it will jump to the selected tag.

BTW: You got automatically switched to the Firefox DevTools
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools>, because Firebug's
development is discontinued <https://getfirebug.com/>. You can read more
about that in the related Mozilla Hacks blog post

Here is a migration guide:

See http://stackoverflow.com/a/40910225/432681 and http://stackoverflow.com/a/41890636/432681 for how to get Firebug back (temporarily).

My fault, Inspect Element with Firebug really doesn't work anymore once multi-process Firefox is enabled. Issue 8077 was filed to fix this (by removing the option).

Please use the Inspect Element option instead.
