When the preference devtools.layoutview.enabled is set to true the Inspector sidebar can't be opened anymore.

The Browser Console shows the following related errors:

lineNumber:125
message:"Module `resource://devtools/client/inspector/layout/components/app.js` is not found at resource://devtools/client/inspector/layout/components/app.js"

Surprised this didn't report an error on MacOSX and continued to work. This should fix it.

Thanks for the quick fix! Mind logging a follow up to add a test?

> Surprised this didn't report an error on MacOSX and continued to work.

From what I tested, it works on a local build on OSX, but fails on a Nightly build.
This might be coming from the fact that local builds use symlinks for some files instead of really packaging them.
Which means they benefit of the case insensitive file system used on OSX.

It helps people taking the decision to uplift this if they are given a bit more information about the request. So let me add a few more details:
> Approval Request Comment
> [Feature/regressing bug #]: bug 1314931
> [User impact if declined]: If the pref devtools.layoutview.enabled is set to true (it is false by default), then the Inspector panel in DevTools won't open.
> [Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: None, because it is a path fix.
> [Risks and why]: The risk is very limited, and the code changed here doesn't impact Firefox, only DevTools, and only when the pref devtools.layoutview.enabled is set to true.
> [String/UUID change made/needed]: None
