As far as I know, the DevTools don't have an option to minimize them like Firebug has it and when you close them, they are off. It looks like they had a minimize button earlier <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1177463>, though, which might get reimplemented at some point. See bug 1178218 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1178218>. I also miss the little Inspector button that I had in the toolbar next > to the Firebug button.

I.e. you can right-click an element within the page and choose *Inspect Element* (one-time action), or you can switch to the inspect mode by clicking the inspector button in the upper-left corner of the DevTools' toolbar. Then you can hover the elements within the page and when you click an element it gets selected within the source view. I realize these are very minor concerns, just little interface things. > Thanks. > Note that I am not part of the DevTools team, so I'm answering as a user. Documentation for them is available at MDN <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools>. And if you have questions about them, you should ask them on IRC <irc://irc.mozilla.org/devtools> or ask on Stack Overflow <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/firefox-developer-tools>.
