Steps to reproduce:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function creatingComment() {
var commentContainer = document.getElementById("commentContainer");
var comment = document.createComment("Dynamically generated comment");
commentContainer.appendChild(comment);
alert(commentContainer.firstChild.nodeValue);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="commentContainer"></div>
<input type="button" onclick="creatingComment();"></input>
</body>
</html>
Actual results:
Firefox DOM Inspector doesn't display HTML comments created dynamically.
Firebug does, Opera Dragonfly too.
Correction: Firefox DOM Inspector doesn't display comments at all, even if they're hard coded in HTML element.
Summary: DOM Inspector doesn't display dynamically created comments (document.createComment) → DOM Inspector doesn't display HTML comments

Are you talking about the DOM Inspector extension or the builtin Inspector?

I can confirm that comment node does not appear in html markup panel of built-in inspector.
(it appears in DOM Node pane of DOM inspector extension)

Summary: DOM Inspector doesn't display HTML comments → Inspector doesn't display HTML comments
I didn't know there was an extension with this name too, I was talking about built-in DOM inspector.
One thing I want to correct: when sharing the createComment code I've encountered another problem, try renaming the function creatingComment to createComment and you will see.
"Not enough arguments [nsIDOMHTMLDocument.createComment]"
The browser think we want to call document.createComment instead of the createComment function.
I was using the inline javascript method onclick="createComment();" because it's quick when sharing an example even if it's deprecated. I will avoid this by now.
This problem does not happen when using addEventListener, I updated the code in attachment for dynamic comments.

Firefox 13 and the problem is still here.. Will you correct it?
I've just noticed that comments will appear in Firefox Inspector if they are appended to the body, for example document.body.appendChild(document.createComment("this comment is working")); but the 2 examples in attachments (comments in a div tag) are STILL NOT working.
