I've just gone and amended the rev3246 to Fb1.5x 0a03 release... and yes at least the inspect element tool is doing something now.. but its pretty much working in a sucky way.
you invoke the inspect element tool and already half your browser screen space is gone because the fbug! window pop ups (into default position! it doesn't remember).. you should be able to use the inspect element toolbar icon/shortcut freely with full window space.. until you select an element and only then fbug opens up. if we can get that put back to how it used to work would be much better. my next bug.. using the inspect element tool once the fbug window is opened.. if you leave an element selection highlighted with the blue/ yelllow shading(any future options of customization for fbug like selection colors? like through an actual extensions Options dialog?) over its element.. and then close the fbug window.. it does not clear the selection.. you'll be left with a fbug element selection highlighting still visible on the page. Even though fbug has been closed and you're no longer using the inspect element tool.. there should be some sort of thing that clears element selections when you close fbug which it is not doing.. so a user has to make sure they have messed about to remove any element selections off before closing the fbug window.. would be nice to see this fixed please.
