Firefox DOM inspector on Ubuntu Breezy Badger

Automated disclaimer: This post was written more than 15 years ago and I may not have looked at it since.

Older posts may not align with who I am today and how I would think or write, and may have been written in reaction to a cultural context that no longer applies. Some of my high school or college posts are just embarrassing. However, I have left them public because I believe in keeping old web pages aliveā€”and it's interesting to see how I've changed.

Problem
I couldn’t install the mozilla-firefox-dom-inspector package on Ubuntu Breezy Badger. Synaptic kept giving me the message that the package couldn’t be installed, and was probably just there for dependency reasons.
Solution
  • Uninstall mozilla-firefox
  • Install firefox
  • Install firefox-dom-inspector
Explanation
Well, I got it backwards in a previous post. The transition is actually from mozilla-firefox to firefox. That post has now been adjusted.
