FF and the web developer tool

Anyone know a way to have "Outline Current Element" as default
when the web developer tools are invoked when Edit CSS or Edit
HTM is required?

My version (1.1.3) has a "persist features" as a top item under the
options menu. When I turn that on and then select "Outline Current
Element", it stays on when I move from page to page.

That what you're looking for?

Thanks Nikita, this will do fine, close enough.

As it happened, my web devs just auto updated to latest. It was
nearly what I wanted (for the feature to come on only when I
choose Edit CSS or HTML).

If you are interested in the quickest and most complete info about a
current element, install the Firebug add-on. You click on the element and
get tabs of info about it, even a visual diagram showing how it is placed
in the page.

Thanks mb. Actually I do have this ad on. But I often want light
weaponry. (Have a lot of enemies and I have to move fast). That
outline and the html "breadcrumb" display is really very often
what helps me pinpoint trouble.
