    @Anonymous It is difficult to find an Inspect Element option in Firefox but try by pressing CTRL+Shift+K,or if you still can't find it.! You have to download updated version of Firefox which is Firefox Aurora "http://www.onsecrethunt.com/2011/12/download-firefox-11-aurora-released.html" from here.This can help you a lot.
