Yes, inline here means "embedded in the HTML code", i.e. a style sheet 
surrounded by <style> tags.

A worse problem is the number "13". I look around and find the CSS rule on

You're right. The numbering is relative to the beginning of each style 
sheet. I.e. 13 is the 13th line after the <style> tag.

Well, it's a difference to Firebug. I've filed that as bug 1324385 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1324385>.

PS: If your question is only related to the Firefox DevTools, you should 
better ask in their communication channels 
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools#Join_the_Developer_tools_community>,
 
not the Firebug discussion group. In this case it is fine, though, because 
it's a difference to Firebug.
