You can open the developer tools with the F12 key. If you never want to use developer tools then you can disable these tools via the about:config page.

  • about:config => devtools.policy.disabled = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. If you get the warning page, you can click the "Accept the Risk and Continue" button.
