Firefox inspector not focus on the element through clicking inspect.
As the new firefox for developer came out, I downloaded & used it as main browser. However, I found out that the Inspector not focus or show direct element I inspected. It just open the inspector window & show the whole body tag. Is this something from the new Firefox? or from any add-ons of mine?

Does this happen all the time or only in specific cases?
This can happen if elements are no longer present if focus is removed from the web page as will happen if you try to inspect the element via the right-click context menu.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

It happens all the time. As I start Firefox in Safe Mode, it works just fine. Then I start Firefox normally & disable hardware acceleration + some add-ons that I haven't install on my previous Firefox. It somehow seems to work right now even though I turned hardware acceleration back on & enable almost every add-on of mine + appearance except Wired Marker + ADB Helper from Firefox.
