See Bug 1387482 for some context.

Right now the firefox context-menu needs to know if devtools are installed/not-installed, enabled/not-enabled, to decide if the inspect element menu item should be displayed. It would be better to add the menu entry directly from the DevToolsShim, since it will only depend on DevTools logic and preferences.

So the goal of this bug is to allow DevToolsShim.jsm to dynamically add the "Inspect Element" menu item to the Firefox context menu. 

(Blocking it on the bug to move DevTools as an addon to avoid introducing extra complexity unnecessarily.)
Product: Firefox → DevTools

We will not ship devtools as an addon, closing.
