I have the same issue here. Was on my Gmail Inbox page and wanted to inspect the new drag and drop feature Gmail has implemented. Clicked on the Pause button by accident (ahh so it's a pause button!) and it definitely paused my ability to use Firefox until I forced quit after waiting a minute or so. I saw the spinning beach ball of death (Mac OS X 10.5.7) and Firefox was completely unresponsive to all input.
If the pause/self-destruct button can't be moved over to the right (maybe near the search input?), how about moving it within the Script tab? Also, while I am all for GUI and icons to streamline the interface, I'm not finding the flashlight icon and pause icon to be meaningful enough. Safari's Web Developer uses the proverbial magnifying glass, while other tools have used a crosshairs/target motif. While I can appreciate a desire to be unique, I think the introduction of the flashlight metaphor is one more thing for users to have to grok. I guess it would be nice to include tooltips so that when one hovers over the flashlight or pause buttons there is at least some description of what clicking on the icon does. thanks, brian On Jul 10, 4:26 am, Simon Focus <[email protected]> wrote: > I won't pretend to know more about Firebug than anyone else, but as a > humble web-designer/developer, I've observed a few things. > > The tiny littlepausebutton (that I have yet to use) is very close to > the inspect icon, so I often click thepausebutton by accident.
