3. Close the browser window in the background.
4. Notice most of the tools are missing in the Tools > Web Developer windows drop-down menu:

Notice if a browser window is not open, you also cannot use keybindings to open a particular developer tool. For example, opening the WebIDE via the Mac OS X keybinding (Fn+⇧+F8) does not work.

When I do open a browser window, I notice it takes around 2-3 seconds at least for the new developer tools to show up in the Tools > Web Developer windows drop-down menu.

WebIDE has been deprecated long time ago, closing.
