html - Can you make hovered state in Firebug "sticky?"

Question

When I'm debugging a site, sometimes the hovered selectors are a little long winded and similar to other ones, is there a way to apply a kind of "sticky" state to hover rules in Firebug?

Example; I hover over a nav bar and want to copy the selector out of firebug to search in the CSS, but as soon as I move my mouse, the selector (obviously) disappears as the nav <li> isn't hovered anymore.

Any way to do this?

Thanks :)
