No, and I'm not laying blame on Mozilla for releasing FF3.  However, DOM Inspector is
supposed to be compatible with FF3, and FF3 give it the thumbs up when it is
installed.  It just doesn't work for
me, so I get to complain.  :p

I believe the Mozilla team maintained the version for FF2, but I'm not sure about the
new version.  As a matter of fact, I think that the DOM Inspector was an optional
component during the
installation of FF2, but not so for FF3.

It's supposed to be fixed.  The version for FF3 is new.
