DOMi has some bugs right now, but I'm giving it 5 stars on credit. If you write HTML, you owe DOM Inspector a debt of gratitude whether you've benefited directly from DOMi or not. Back when Firefox was just "Mozilla" or "Phoenix," DOMi was built-in and I believe it was the first of its kind. The HTML/CSS/javascript debugging it provided were revolutionary, and critical to bringing web development out of the 90s. This increased visibility made understanding all but automatic, and allowed everyone to raise their expectations. Web development used to include a lot of trial-and-error, and now you only have to resort to that when you want to, or when someone makes you try and support IE.

This is a hell of a software for any html developper, absolutely useful, and I don't care the little bugs or improvements that could be made

Why not provide horizontal scrolling in the left pane?

I found DOM Inspector was extremely valuable in looking at the Chrome documents of my XUL code. Being able to see all the DOM elements and nodes was very useful in understanding the hierarchy tree structure and helping to isolate code problems. Particularly for some of the Mozilla IDs.
Highly Recommended for any add-on developer.

Excellent add-on...
im just a student,not any developer..
i use this to save images(where your right-click doesn't work). actually get the image source link, and then paste it in next tab..
and to access sites that says "to unlock this page, click below to complete the survey"
just open dom-inspector, choose, "find a node by clicking" click on the box thats blocking your page.
then delete the code in DOM inspector..
that blocking window is deleted..
u can use it to your creativity...

If you're going to make any Firefox add-ons, you're going to need this. That's all there is to it.

I've been using this for addon development and it has saved me a lot of time by helping me find out about the structure of the chrome window and also helping me decide what documentation I should look into in some cases.

This is a must have extension for theme and/or website developers. It can really help speed up the process of finding offending code and getting things fixed. I just can't imagine developing and maintaining Firefox themes without it.

I use this addons since I started HTML and Javascript programming, and now I'm developping Firefox extensions, this is a must-have.
But I don't know why it does not include a contextual menu item (in preference) like "Inspect context" or "Inspect this" addons.
Really great addon.

I just started using this tool on a friends recommendation for editing styles in Stylish. Its the biggest time saver and headache reducer.
My only complaint is that when you are viewing "CSS style rules", you cannot right click or highlight and copy the rules. Please please please fix this. Its great that "property and value" are copyable because it save a lot of time but not being able to copy the rule is the biggest pain in the butt ever.
Great addon that I never needed until recently!!

This is an indispensable tool for me, I use it every day.
I would give it five stars if it refreshed automatically when the page it inspects is refreshed.
Is this something a mere mortal (who knows javascript) like me can do?

I have used the DOM Inspector for some time now and would like to say Thank You for this plug-in. It has been a blessing to me as I have evolved in my role as a web developer.
Like the previous commenter, there was a time I didn't know the meaning DOM (Document Object Model). I can trace my computer roots back 1973 as a sophomore taking a Fortran class. I may not have owned my own company where I can hire people to KNOW things for me so I have learned to LEARN before criticizing somebody about something of which I know nothing. I did not know what DOM was until I needed/wanted to learn about this web developing related subject.
I would like to report a personal achievement using the DOM Inspector in straightening out the various javascript used on a client's site. I recently have been able to correct all the errors from "not well written code", "conflicting functions and variables", as well as the elimination of "depreciated code aspects".
The DOM Inspector has many more features than I use. This may be the result of my knowledge diffency rather than an overkill on the author's part. I sometimes use some of the features for possibly other than intended reasons... Like by turning image paths on it is quite easy to see if that ebay auction is stealing a client's image bandwidth or say when visiting paypal.com if the image paths are from paypal.com (bad) or a local directory (better - but not "good", could be lifted.). If I am suspecious enough I'll even check if the javascipt is changing the link names or desitinations. I also use DOM Inspector to examine other web sites. I like to browse the site structure of both sites I like and that of those I don't like. I like to see what of where I can improve as well as what things to avoid. Thank You for this plug-in.

The versions 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 are only in English?

I was using this inbuilt feature in seaMonkey.
It is nice to see DOM inspector in Firefox. It helped me analyse the structure of websites through browser itself.

Solution to the problem described by QuarkCZ is to uninstall DOM Inspector first, then remove two files called inspector.dll and inspector.xpt from C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components directory, finally installing DOM inspector again.
