Show object type in Firefox DOM inspector


Some time ago, I used Firebug to inspect the DOM of a webpage in Firefox. It showed me the type of the objects (the name of the constructor, I guess).

Today, Firebug is gone. For firefox' DOM tab, everything is displayed as Object only. This slows me down a lot, I have to look into the objects to see what type they have.

Is there any way to restore the "good old firebug behaviour"?


Solution

  • This is a missing feature in the Firefox devtools. There's a general "firebug gaps" bug that tries to list all of these. This particular problem is covered in this bug.
