Firefox Developer Edition - Can the developer tab (Tools) can stay open at all time?

I download and install Firefox Developer Edition and I like to have the tab with the tools always open by default even on restart.

Really annoying to have to click all the time, on new page opening.

Do you have a way?

Merry Christmas!

I'm not aware of a way to open the developer toolbox automatically when you start Firefox. You can search the add-ons website for an extension with this feature.

I leave the developer toolbar (Shift+F2) open at the bottom of the Firefox window and click the wrench button to open the tools when I need them.

Tanks, it will be a good addition to the dev edition to have the possibility to have the choice to have the tools always open or not...

Merry Christmas everybody!
