Make Inspector Color Picker use HEX

I'm using Firefox 28.0 on a Win7 PC.

I like how much the Inspector has improved, almost to the point where I don't need FireBug anymore.

However: Even with "Default color unit" set to Hex in the settings of the Inspector, the Color Picker shows the CSS value as RGBA value after one has changed with the color picker. This is really annoying

Reproduce: Right click on an element with color style applied (it will show hex value). Press the colored cicle and pick any color. This changes the CSS color value to the RGBA format.

Thank you, Alf

Yes, I can confirm this. I can get the hex value back by temporarily switch to another element.
