Firefox Inspector - found a setting I want to change but not sure which HTML doc it is referencing

When i go to my web page to adjust a visual look of the web site I can make the change using Firefox Inspector, but now I am trying to figure out what file actually has the coding.
Is there any way to do this?

That is what I am trying to determine what CSS file is being used?
I looked at the default on but it does nothav any of the info I am looking to change.
When i look at the Rules, i see that the parameter is "Inherited from DIV, then it lists the div.page  and tell me what styles.css:28.  I guessing that is the style setup and what line but it is not what matches the data I look at in the Inspector?
It might be getting generated from client side scripting in which case it will not be in any stylesheet or even inline.  In that case the styling is obfuscated somewhere in the scripting.

I like the Chrome code inspector better than Firefox's. I think it's easier to use and see what is happening. And it gives you a blank:
element.style {

}
 CSS element, so if you click on a div or span or whatever on the left, and try applying the style there and it works on the page, then you are in the right place. Maybe FF does this too and I just haven't noticed it.
@nanharbison - In Firebug, right click in the Style tab and you'll see an option for Edit Element Style...
