AInspector Sidebar 1.1.1 released for Firefox

I am pleased to announce AInspector Sidebar 1.1.1 extension for Firefox is now available.

An important feature of release 1.1.1 is fixing the “Inspect Element” feature that was broken by an undocumented change in a Firefox.
The Inspect Element button now works as expected.
