#332010: "Check out this site. Design is awesome." "Yeah but did you view source? Terrible semantics and inline css." 2012: "Check out this site. Design is awesome." "Yeah but did use 3D View? The element stacking is terrible. Doesn't have those nice symmetrical pyramids you like to see."
I am a bit baffled by the switch from your 2010 scenario myself. Many people were obsessed with semantic markup, but now things like bootstrap.css come along that clearly violate that idea and I don't hear a peep about it.

#38Here's the blog post in which I introduced the feature... http://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/03/13/firefox-adds-new-dev... The 3D view is not "every day" useful, but people have found it to be a quick way to spot unexpected nesting issues. As noted elsewhere, this feature started life as an add-on made during Google Summer of Code 2011 by Victor Porof, who continues to work on Firefox developer tools today. (in case y…
It was the most awesome thing in my talk at HOPE Number 9 about using browser tools to figure out what sites are doing. I compared it with the scene in Jurassic Park where the girl "knows Unix".

You have to open the inspector first (Ctrl+Shift+I or Firefox->Web Developer->Inspector), and then click the "3D" button on the bottom left (or bottom right if you're on some beta/nightlies).

#40Are you still able to interact with the document whilst in 3d mode? e.g. test jQuery animations, etc (unfortunately can't try it myself)
You cannot, unfortunately. I tried simply animating some elements with .animate, and it did not work.
