I hate the fact that the close window/dialog button for the devtools is on the left hand side when every other plugin puts this on the right hand side. I am not an every day user of FF's built in devtools so it is not something that I am accustomed to. Despite firebug's performance troubles when I go to select devtools or firebug I usually opt for firebug simply because the close button drives me nuts.

We moved the button and a number of the tabs in Firefox devtools to be more like the order in Firebug and Chrome devtools. Here's a screenshot from current Nightly: https://i.imgur.com/EmVIZYO.png

Nice. I am running the aurora release on this machine so it is still on the left. I cant wait to have button sanity. Thank you for your efforts.

New devtools are much improved however would it be possible to remove the dotted lines whilst inspecting an element (toggled option would be fine), just seems to get in the way of things.

Are you on a mac? I just tried and the close button is on the right.

In that case, it's still backwards, because the normal close button on OSX is on the left.
