It was perhaps from a file I downloaded , a compressed file
called "web_developer-1.0.2-fx+fl.xpi"
Every now and then when starting FF it asks you if you are happy
to update this or that and I say yes (I am like that, trusting...)
I am talking fast here because I do not actually know how to find
out quickly what version of the WDB I have, it is sort of
embedded into the FF app.

It is very very handy indeed. You go to the Outline menu, choose
Outline current element and Show element names... and hover over
the page and you will see. This way you can be sure of what is
what while you are also looking at the css for some problem
