Installed Tilt 0.9.1.7

Looked in Tools> and Tools>Web Developer for Tilt. Cannot find.
Looked in Tools>Add-ons and it is installed.
Used Ctrl+Shift+M to start, and it does start and it does display the Tilt DOM and I can manipulate it in 3D space.

So even though it can't be found in the menu, it can be used.

Unfortunately with Tilt installed the menu items now flicker terribly, to the point of being unusable. By this I mean I place the mouse cursor over the "Tools" menu item and press down. The word Tools vanishes and an empty drop down box flickers momentarily and then vanishes, leaving just a drop shadow outline. If I move the cursor down into the drop down box the information reappears, but its now very touchy. At various points the box will flicker, vanish then reappear. When the cursor moves over a menu item that has a ">" for expanding another drop down box, the selection highlight jumps upward one menu item, then back down. Sometimes the second drop down opens, sometimes it doesn't.

I have the web developer tool bar installed and the behavior here is affected as well. Basically it seems to happen to all the items in the menu bar.

If I remove Tilt, everything returns to normal (thank you for that). At this point the flickering unfortunately means I can not use this tool for the time being :(

I like Tilt and can see a tremendous benefit coming from it, particularly when you get it to the point that I can click on an item in the Tilt display and get its DOM trace, css etc. I will really help visualize the location of items for those of us learning Javascript for example.
