the other geeky way to get and install the firefox 2 DOM Inspector extension after installing firefox
first version: http://Himself.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/installing-firefox-dom-inspector-without-having-to-custom-install-firefox/
new fun version:
Repackage this debian binary into an XPI to install to firefox 2
(instructions assume Windows XP, but will work for any OS essentially)
download this debian binary: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/web/firefox-dom-inspector
don’t have debian? don’t worry. you’ll need 7zip
open firefox-dom-inspector_2.0.0.11+0nobinonly-0ubuntu0.6.10_all.deb (or whatever is current) in 7zip
or right-click-drag firefox-dom-inspector_2.0.0.11+0nobinonly-0ubuntu0.6.10_all.deb to 7zFM.exe
extract: data.tar.gz
open: data.tar.gz
browse to: .\usr\share\firefox\extensions\
extract the folder: inspector@mozilla.org
(for santiy sake check the RDF)
yup… that’ll do nicely
using your zip capable archive tool zip the newly extracted inspector@mozilla.org folder
(correction: zip contents of the folder)
change the zip extension to xpi
drag the newly created xpi into firefox to install the DOM Inspector extension
or download DOM Inspector for firefox2: inspector@mozilla.org.xpi

for a slightly less complicated unpack the zip in this directory
http://ftp-mozilla.netscape.com/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/contrib/
unpack: inspector@mozilla.orgzip contents to xpi
