{{FeaturePageBody
|Feature overview=In order to serve the add-on inspection use-case, we need to extend current UI inspection tools to target the chrome elements of the browser. This will likely result in a shift in presentation of the inspector's current UI when the user chooses to inspect chrome.
 
The current wrap-web-content UI of the inspector suggests to users an inability to select elements outside of its element bounds. Some form of detached inspector UI that shows the user a clear connection to the chrome inspection context may be a good option for showing the clear difference between the two inspection scenarios.
|Feature users and use cases=Nearly all add-ons with front-facing UI would immediately benefit. In the process of serving the add-ons developer case with this enhancement, we would provide to Firefox developers a significantly more usable answer to Firefox chrome inspection than the current tool, DOM Inspector. This would have obvious organizational efficiency benefits that will help drive development our core product.
