As per this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/12hdx1v/mozilla_needs_to_launch_their_dev_tools_in_a/

Some sites (don't have any handy right now) detect and "sabotage" your browsing if you open dev tools. For example, they'll go into a debugger mode or become unusuable, telling you to close dev tools to continue.

The thread has some ideas about detection/prevention, tbh I'm not sure if this idea is possible but it would be useful.

^ an example of a site that blocks you if you open dev tools. Link available on request (it's a dodgy streaming site with heaps of ads 😁)

Thank you for the link! We are actively looking into this (and fixed several things in the past).
