Delay when closing Inspect Element-tool
Whenever I select an element using "Inspect Element," there's a significant delay between it selecting the element and the overlay that highlights the element closing. At first I thought this was a bug, but perhaps this is considered a feature? Is it possible to remove this delay?

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Yes, the delay is there in troubleshoot mode as well.

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

As a test, disable your protection programs.
I tried it in safe mode, but had the same issue. Still a delay, it's about a second long.
Can you clarify what delay you mean ? Title: "Delay when closing Inspect Element-tool" Question: "using "Inspect Element," there's a significant delay between it selecting the element and the overlay that highlights the element closing" what would suggest to me a delay to show what element is selected
The latter can be because Firefox needs to traverse the DOM to find what element this is about and that can take some time if the DOM is long/complicated or deeply nested. A delay when closing the Inspector can be caused by cleaning data kept in memory.
Just to be sure, boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.
When I open the selection tool, it highlights the element with a blue overlay (drawing dashed lines along the borders of the element's bounding box, as well as showing the margins in yellow). When you then click the desired element, it's selection is "locked in" in the source view of the console and the overlay disappears (i.e. the inspect element tool is closed). There is a significant (about a second) delay between closing the inspect element tool and the overlay disappearing.
I have tried it in Safe Mode with Networking, and it also occurs there.
