Is there any way to edit HTML code that is local on my drive in Firefox's Inspector and save the changes? Or any way to quickly edit and save HTML and view it in the browser rather than switching back and forth to a text editor?
I know you can do this in Chrome by adding the file to your workspace, but I'm wondering if Firefox has something similar.
I see that a similar question was asked about Firebug back in 2010. However, I was wondering if anything had changed since then, due to Firebug being deprecated and the functionality being available in Chrome.
There's no modern/active extension to do this as far as I know. Even with FireBug it's still not very intuitive.
Your best bet is to use an editor that has a live edit, like Brackets or PhpStorm.

I recently added some text effects to my website in HTML and CSS. It runs perfectly on VS Code live sever but whenever I upload the code files on to my cpanel, the effects just seem to go away when I actually click and go on my website and I am not sure why. Does anyone know a fix for this? Here is my website julianwsanchez.com
And this how it is supposed to look:
How It Looks When I open it:
The output I'm seeing on your site matches the output of the code snippet here, effects and all.
Check to see if you have some browser extension that affects the way a site might look (e.g. a dark mode extension). Also, try going to your site in a different browser and/or in Incognito mode.
it Works for me just fine, both the link given, and the files running on localhost
You might need to do a hard reload.
try Ctrl-Shift-R on chrome when viewing the page.
This clears the browsers cache for that webpage,
alternative: open the web page in another browser.
I have been having a very odd problem in all Salesforce orgs, but only when using Chrome.
If I go to Setup, and click on a "classic" setup link, like "users", instead of opening it in the iframe within lightning, it attempts to open it in a new browser tab. The page renders, but none of the links or javascript do anything.
I have seen advice that says to avoid a plugin called "Ghostery" but I am not using that, and have turned off other browser extensions but nothing works. This is not happening for anyone else I know using chrome and salesforce, which leads me to believe it is some Chrome configuration setting, but I don't know what to look for.
I built a PDF in Illustrator, and am linking to it from a web page. It looks fine in SumatraPDF and in the Windows preview pane, but the browser renders this (just so you know, this is not how I want it to look)
Is this because I have font embedded? The only thing that I want to have happen with this is for a couple links on it to be clickable; otherwise, I'd convert it all to outlines. Is there something I need to do here that I haven't done?
EDIT: Here's a weird update about this. The browser follows the link embedded in the pdf when I click it. So it has the right data, but the wrong presentation apparently.
I'm assuming you are/were using either the Dev or Canary channel of Chrome. There was an experiment running in both channels that was causing this, which has since been reverted in Canary but is still affecting Dev 59.0.3053.X. For the more technical; this experiment enabled the PDFium code to use Skia to render paths instead of Anti-Grain Geometry and caused this font gibberish.
Here is the link to the bug report:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=705039
UPDATE: This was fixed in the Dev Channel with update 59.0.3071.X
I used this nifty feature that chrome had for quite a while called "canvas inspector". It was an experimental dev feature that had to manually be enabled.
It was quite helpful when working with webgl via something like THREE.js where you can easily create a bunch of undesired draw calls by accident.
Also, it worked on any website, you could simply take a snapshot and see whats going on in the canvas.
It... miraculously disappeared one day, and google does not give any insight.
I've tried some extensions but they dont feel nearly as good, or i couldn't even get them to work. Is there another way to get this back into chrome?
Apparently it was doing some cheeky stuff that they didn't want in the main project so it was removed in this issue: DevTools: make Canvas profiler an extension
We can make it an extension though. This bug is for tracking removal of the canvas profiler from the DevTools. There will be a separate initiative of porting the code being removed into github and publishing it as a Chrome extension.
According to that issue they might move it to an extension in the future but I haven't found any traces of it as of now. They haven't responded to a question in the above issue about where the new issue could be tracked.
Chrome and Firefox have both removed their Canvas inspectors...
Original Answer:
This is not exactly what the question asks for, but Firefox has a canvas inspector integrated:
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/03/introducing-the-canvas-debugger-in-firefox-developer-tools/
You can enable it in the settings of the normal inspector
EDIT: (2019)
The Canvas Inspector has been removed as of Firefox 67:

spector.js - Recommended alternative by Mozilla
Canvas inspection was just removed!
You can download an old version of Chromium here like Chromium_OSX_43.0.2357.81.dmg. (Provided by freesmug)
Happy Canvas Inspection!
This is the best extension inspector I’ve seen so far.

First go into
chrome://flags
Then enable
Developer Tools experiments
Then after restarting your browser, open the devlopers tools by hitting f12, then in the top right corner is a gear. Click on it, go to experiments, then find "canvas inspection". It's unstable, but usable.
I know I can edit HTML elements in Chrome / Firefox inspector. But how can I save changes to the local file on my desktop?
Chrome is able to do some stuff via workspaces. Open devtools go to Sources add folder to workspace pick your index.html (or whatever) edit and save by clicking ctrl+s. Refresh browser and you'll see that changes are permanent. You can't however go to Elements/Inspector pick some tag change it and save because "DOM!==HTML".
Yes you can edit a locally saved html file in IE9 by right clicking the page in the browser window, choosing "view source" which opens in notepad and editing the code and then go to file and save the changes.
You can do the same thing In Firefox by opening Firebug and then opening the Firebug editor which is notepad.
I just thought I remembered doing it by just right clicking the page and opening "view source" in Firefox just as I did in IE9.
View Source in Firefox allows you to play around with your code and edit it but to save and edit the actual working file requires opening it up, making those same changes, then saving. I'd suggest using the developer tools and once you have what you want, copying and pasting the altered source code to use in the original file. If you have firebug and the firebug editor I think you may then be able to actually update the file itself. Chrome allows you to edit JavaScript like that but I'm not sure about HTML and CSS
I have the same problem, how to edit the DOM html and save the results. On my PC I can effectively do this operation using Scratchpad by changing the file type to all, open the file, edit it, do a save, then refresh the page. With a bit of messing around you can copy and paste from the Inspector to the Scratchpad. It's pretty hacky, but it does work.
However, one of my students who is using a Macbook AIR can't edit html files with ScratchPad, she can edit .js files, but all the html files are grayed out and can't be clicked. Bottom line is I don't know if this "solution" works for all systems.
