I used to use the Tools > Web Developer > Inspect (or Inspector, I can't remember exactly) tool. It was there without me explicitly installing it and suddenly it is not there any more.

What happened? Thanks. B.

You can set the pref devtools.inspector.enabled to true on the about:config page to enable the build-in inspector, but I don't know how well that works in Firefox 9 versions. Close and restart Firefox.
