# Web Developer Toolbar with Child Theme CSS

 * I have a child theme based on twenty eleven, which is all fine but still making
   changes.
 * When using Firefox Web developer toolbar and I open the “Edit CSS” tab, the CSS
   becomes a mix of original twenty Eleven and my new styles. I have double checked
   everything to make sure the original twenty eleven styles aren’t duplicated in
   child CSS, but still happening. If I use !important, it is all OK, but this is
   obviously impractical for each rule.
 * Thought it might be a web developer toolbar problem, but it’s not happening with
   my static html site – only with WordPress.
 * Has anyone had the same issue?

 * Try using the Firebug add-on. I have it installed as well as the Web Dev toolbar.

 * Thank you – I’ve tried that, and maybe I’m not using it properly, but I find 
   the live edit with the web dev toolbar much easier to use. I’ll have another 
   go with Firebug.
