In the beginning, the developer tools used to open at the bottom of the browser window when I press Ctrl+Shift+I. But then one day I opened it in a seperate window by clicking the button on the top right corner. Since then, developer tools always open in a new window. I want them to open in the same browser window at the bottom as before. But I am unable to do it.

hello, click on the Dock to bottom of browser window button at the top right of the window or alternatively enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named devtools.toolbox.host & right-click and reset that entry to the default value.
