Launch a modal dialog window. You can't dom inspect it because you can't even launch the file menu to go file -> inspect window.
This is just a dup of the fact that we only do application-modal windows on Unix, is it not? If we did window-modal windows instead this would be a nonissue.... as it is, what would you expect inspector to do (given that it's not receiving mouse/keyboard events).
I have thought about adding a preference for inspecting documents in a separate window instead of the built-in browser pane. That would solve this problem.

Bug 129591 has a patch which would fix this too. I've been able to inspect modal windows while testing that patch. Adding dependency.
Depends on: 129591
Is this now fixed with the checkin to Bug 129591?
I would say that yes, this is fixed. I can dom inspect a new event dialog in calendar, as well as the print dialog. Marking as fixed.
