Does it help if you open Computed tab's option menu (by clicking on
the black littler triangle
next to the tab title) and check "Show User Agent CSS" option?

What Honza means is that by default you will now just see properties, which were changed by the page's CSS. See the Computed side panel description for more information.

Yes, that did it. I now see the width, height, etc.I wonder if "Show User Agent CSS" was checked by default in previous Firebug versions.

Thanks so much for the tip. I was really missing being able to see the actual width of elements.

Thanks @Jan for taking time to sort this out.  I had a similar post that was probably 
junked.  This was always present by default in the previous versions, so I naturally
thought something was wrong with the update when it was not there automatically.

Show User Agent CSS existed already in previous versions and it was off by default. Though it was only used for the Style side panel. The Computed side panel didn't have that option before and that's why just all properties were shown (because there was no option to hide them).

But you like the "user agent CSS junk" inside the Computed side panel, hmm? :-) The reason why we decided to have just one preference for both is that the defined user agent styles and the computed styles are related.
But feel free to create an enhancement request explaining why you need to see the computed user agent styles (inside the Computed side panel) but not the defined ones (inside the Style side panel).

Hi, I understand the logic, but would be really good to separate this setting from Style tab so I can leave this option disabled for Style tab but enabled for Computed tab. I really don't like the mess in Style tab with all that user agnet css junk :)

Honestly I would prefer something "in between". I really don't need e.g. "animation-iteration-count" property to be in the Computed list, but without User Agent CSS I'm not able to see very basic rules like "display". So something with common properties would be highly recommended for Computed tab. Or just separate User Agent CSS setting for Computed tab and Style tab so I can see everything in Computed, but don't see mess in Style tab :) And thanks for the link, I will definitely post enhancement request. I hope I'm not alone who would like to separate this setting :)
