User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0 Build ID: 20180608100105 Steps to reproduce: On Ubuntu 17.10 Artful running Nightly 62.0a1 (2018-06-08) (64-bit) 1. Go to any website, for instance https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ 2a. Hit F12 to open developer tools 2b. Hit Ctrl + Shift + I to open developer tools 2c. Open menu (the "hamburger" one), go to Web Developer, and click any tool to open developer tools Actual results: Nothing happens apart from when clicking Responsive Design Mode which enters the mode, but does not open the actual developer tools like Inspector or Debugger. Expected results: Developer Tools should open
I'll try to set up

(In reply to william from comment #1) > I'll try to set up Sorry, premature submit there. I'll try to set up mozregression to pinpoint further, but I use Nightly as my daily driver for web development and I didn't have this issue yesterday.
I can confirm the issue on my mac but not on my linux machine and neither in a Windows VM.

I'm running Linux in a VirtualBox VM for what it's worth.
Can reproduce on MacOS with the 62.0a1 (2018-06-07 and 018-06-08). There a demo of what I tried: https://i.imgur.com/qzhUto4.gif
There's a patch up for that in bug 1467679.
