How do I inspect CSS pseudo classes with firebug?

Question

I am struggling with a reluctant a:hover css style which I cannot override.

I tried to inspect the element in Firebug, but I cannot see why it won't work. I don't even see how to properly inspect a:hover css event in Firebug.

I have seen:
Hover Inspection in Firebug http://blog.borngeek.com/2010/04/16/hover-inspection-in-firebug/
but I have not figured out how to reproduce the steps mentioned there.

How do I inspect/debug CSS pseudo classes like :hover with Firebug?

Answer 1

It's pretty easy. Just select the element you want to inspect. And then, from the panel on the right side, click on the Style menu item. There you can select the pseudo class :hover
