As a web developer, it's boring to manually press "ctrl+shift+I" to open the web develop tool everytime when I switch to another webpage, and refresh the webpage to watch the data showing in the console, especially in the stage of debuging my web project.

There's no built-in option to do this that I can see. You can try binding a keyboard shortcut to do what you want, or maybe record a macro.

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
  3. devtools.debugger.ui.panes-visible-on-st... true

I think.

A possible workaround is to have the Developer Toolbar (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer; Shift+F2) open.
That toolbar has a button to open the Inspector.
That is what I use.
