Locate CSS coding at specified point on webpage quickly

Dear Experts,

When I answer CSS question on EE, I will first look into author's webpage and look
into the issue view point location such as submenu under menu that is similar to
the issue at this EE thread link
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28479835/show-submenu.html

When I answer the question, I will go to firefox developer tool and use "Inspect element"
to find out the exact issue location, and I could not find out the exact CSS file or CSS location. So, I need to view page source to find out or guess where the issue CSS location is
that is really slow to answer the question.

My question is that How can I find the exact CSS issue location code quickly on
Firefox or Chrome browser developer tools ?

Why I will use using "Inspect element" on FF developer tool can Not locate the exact
CSS code on such issue tag when mouse hover on the issue spot on the webpage
Or there is other way to find out CSS issue code on such tag quickly ?

What tools besides experts experience can answer the question as fast as it did
in the previous link.

Please advise
Duncan

Change the z-index on the .yith_magnifier_zoom_wrap {...} class to 1

/assets/css/yith_magnifier.css

The answer from your thread, I could Not find the location . Where is it at which tag ?
I could Not see the CSS code even I tried mourse right-click to the code page under the
webpage

That's because the image doesn't really exist where it is, right click the image when you get the zoom happening and inspect element and then move up the node tree to get the container.

If you can provide small your search practice instruction to search CSS issue location on FF developer tools that will be really good

Duncan

Gary

It's not an :hover issue, the image zoom container is higher in the z-index.

Any external FF site or tools on internet for developer about my issue, please advise

And that is why I seldom or rarly answer CSS question in EE

There's no special secret to it, just inspect the element and work back or forth til you find the relevant element css that needs to be fixed.
There is no one way fits all since every website is different, it's a case of practise makes perfect when you just know what is wrong

Do you have any good FF developer tools manual or site information ?

Duncan

Gary

I only use Firebug
https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

And sometimes HTTPFox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/httpfox/

Last post, Firebug is better than FF developer tools , Right ?

Duncan

Gary

I think so, easier to do things in Firebug
