Inspector examines the frozen blue container

In my current version of Firefox (46.0.1), as a beginner using the inspector tool, I have encountered an issue where moving my mouse around results in a blue box appearing around elements. This movement impedes my ability to navigate through lower information boxes with my mouse. I recall finding a solution for this problem previously, but am unable to locate it now through my searches on Google. I distinctly remember that it was not resolved by setting a breakpoint, but rather involved pressing a specific key.

Your Answer: To solve this issue, simply click on the box icon located at the upper left margin; it will turn blue. You can then freely move your mouse to desired locations and left-click. The blue box will disappear, allowing you to continue interacting with the text below without any interference.

You can find more detailed information regarding this solution at: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector/How_to/Select_an_element

Sincerely, Robert

Answer №1

Often times, what we find ourselves stuck in is commonly known as "Point to Inspect" mode or "Inspect Element" mode. This mode can typically be accessed through the application menu, right-click context menu, or a button within the developer tools interface in various browsers. The main purpose of this mode is to assist users in visualizing the hovered element within a DOM tree.

Generally, this mode remains active until the next left click occurs. By clicking on an element with the left mouse button, it will be highlighted in the DOM tree view. Some tools may also show the selected element in the console log. To exit this mode, simply click on any element to select it.
