Inspector: "No element selected" (No CSS)

Developer Tools
#1

Version 63.0b3 right now, first noticed this in the update that introduced ‘Left-align Viewport’ in responsive mode.

After a while of working in a tab with the inspector open it will stop loading CSS in. Seems to happen pretty consistently, I’ve been disabling add-ons until I’ve just had RES and Vue Tools open now and it’s still persistent.

Opening a new tab will return things to normal, refreshing doesn’t.

Otherwise, I love what you’re doing!

I’m having the same issue.

We recently fixed a similar regression in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1487284, which was released in Firefox 64 and in Firefox 63 beta 5.

Can you check if you have been updated to beta 5 already, and see if the issue still occurs for you?

Thanks for the reply, Julian!

I’m still on beta 4 (and as most recent). I’ll keep an eye out for the beta 5 update and keep you posted.

Having the same “No css properties found” issue with 65.0.2 (64-bit).

#6

Im having the same issue in version 69.0b1. Are anyone else still experiencing the same?

I’m having the same problem in 69.0b3.

Hello @redkite, @abv, would you have link to page, or small example on which you see the issue so we can investigate? Thanks!

Yes - this is what I’m working on now, but it happens with every page I load in Firefox. This started happening like a week ago, and I didn’t pay any attention at first but now it’s not usable for me.

I get ‘no element selected’ and ‘no CSS properties found’ when clicking on anything.

Im currently working on this page https://fho.dk/, but have experienced it in several occasions.

Thanks for adding the gif @abv ! I see you are using Responsive Design Mode, and indeed it seems that “Inspect Element” is broken when Responsive Design Mode is enabled.

I just filed a bug for this issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1565155

@redkite are you also using Responsive Design Mode?

Oh yeah, thats right - i had not thought about that. It works fine in normal desktop mode.

Yes - it works fine in desktop mode. The problem only happens in RDM.
