Thank you, Sz S, for the steps describing how to reactivate Firebug.
Though note that the *Script* panel already doesn't work anymore in Firefox 
50 and the mentioned preference will be removed at some point in the 
future. So, sooner or later people have to switch over to the DevTools.

XPaths can be tested using the $x() command 
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console/The_command_line_interpreter#$x>.
 
Unfortunately there is no integrated context menu option yet that copies 
the XPath of an element (see bug 987877 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=987877>), nor is there an 
advanced tool for the DevTools yet that helps creating XPaths. Though the 
extension XPath Checker 
<https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xpath-checker/> may at least help 
with copying.
