What happened to the Edit button that was in the upper left corner of the 
firebug tools (next to the Pick an Element from the Page icon)? Why isn't 
that available in the new Firefox dev tools? 

In the past, all I had to do was right-click on an item on a webpage and 
click Edit, and a blank box with just the HTML code for just that item / 
paragraph / div, etc. would display. From there I could make changes, add 
more code, and *automatically* see the changes added to the page so I could 
decide whether or not I wanted to make those changes. I could keep working 
and testing and seeing new changes without having to leave the edit box.

With this new Firefox dev tools, there is no edit button. I can right-click 
on a div within the Firefox dev tools and choose Edit as HTML but it only 
brings up a box within the code itself, instead of allowing me to see it 
separately. And when I make a change within the code itself, the changes 
don't show up on the page unless I exit out of the Edit as HTML box. Then 
the changes show up on the page. But to make more changes or make 
adjustments to the change I just tested, that means I have to then re-find 
the div tag or paragraph tag or whatever I changed and right-click all over 
again, in order to go back into the Edit as HTML box option. That's a 
gigantic pain, to have to go back in and out of the Edit box in order to 
see my test changes or make more changes. It's illogical. You've created 
extra steps and made testing much less efficient. It's very frustrating! 

I want Firebug back, not these new Firefox tools. You're making my job 
harder, not easier.
