How to See All Edited Styles in Firefox Developer Tools

Is it possible to see all edited styles in Firefox developer tools?

This is currently only available in Firefox Nightly. In about:config set devtools.inspector.changes.enabled to true. This will create a "Changes" tab in the dev tools with a Git-like panel showing all your changes.

Developer Tools, saving changes made to live site

Simply copy/pasting them would be the easiest thing.

There is no way to actually save changes to a stylesheet directly from the developer console/inspector if that's what you're asking.

How can I grab all css styles of an element?

UPDATE: As @tank answers below, Chrome version 77 added "Copy Styles" when you right-click on an element in the devtools inspector.

Using Javascript worked best for me. Here's how I did it:

1. Open Chrome DevTools console.

2. Paste this dumpCSSText function from this stack overflow answer into the console, and hit Enter:

   function dumpCSSText(element){
     var s = '';
     var o = getComputedStyle(element);
     for(var i = 0; i < o.length; i++){
       s+=o[i] + ':' + o.getPropertyValue(o[i])+';';
     }
     return s;
   }
   

3. When using Chrome, you can inspect an element and access it in the console with the $0 variable. Chrome also has a copy command, so use this command to copy ALL the css of the inspected element:

   copy(dumpCSSText($0));
   

4. Paste your CSS wherever you like! /p>

Click and edit CSS with Firefox?

With firebug installed right-click the element that you want to select and click inspect element.

With Web Developer Toolbar, push ctrl+shift+f to open up the thing that outlines boxes and shows elements.

In order to edit the document in firebug after doing inspect element, you just change the values by clicking on the individual elements or adding new elements. Be aware that without extra plugins this data won't be saved though.

There is a guide to using firebug here: http://getfirebug.com/html

How to filter and show only applied CSS in Chrome Developer Tools (like Firebug in Firefox)

In the Chrome dev tools, in the right hand column (where CSS is shown in the Elements panel), the first section is called "Computed Style". If you deselect "show inherited", you get a neat list of the styles that actually apply to the element. Does that help?

Force Chrome/Firefox developer tools to render edits more immediately like Firebug

In the Firefox DevTools there is currently no way to let their Inspector do the updates immediately. Though there's already bug 815464 filed to change this behavior.

A better workflow for them is to hit Enter after you've edited the value. Then you can open the editor again by pressing Space. Doing so you don't lose the focus.

The Chrome DevTools don't offer a way to do live updates when changing the HTML, neither. Because I couldn't find a related issue to improve the behavior, I requested this in issue 546883.

Their Elements panel allows a similar workflow as the Firefox DevTools' Inspector panel. There you can start and stop inline editing by pressing Enter or use the bigger HTML editor by pressing F2 and stop editing via Ctrl+Enter. Unfortunately Chrome's Elements panel does not focus the part you edited, so you either always start at the first attribute or you edit the whole element.
