just noticed in Firefox when doing a right click there is a 'Inspect Element' option.

not an expert but it seems to be another way to view the source code.......or something. All foreign to me

FireFox 10 has new developer tools. Its kind of like a cut down version of firebug plugin.

It's just a quick way of looking at/inspecting the source code for the selected element of a web page.

For example if you highlight the two smileys at the end of your post and then select inspect element it will highlight the source code for them.

I don't really understand the thinking behind this. Firebug does the job perfectly well for the small minority of users that need it so why add bloat for the huge majority that don't?

You can switch off developer tools.

enter about:config into address bar, enter "devtools" into the search bar and toggle any true values to false

Seems the default setting is wrong to me.
