Yes, you have to close it now to be able to work in other parts of Studio. However you can start FIRE, open a texture or color picker and change colors and FIRE will still update since it was already running. We had to do it this way for various reasons.

Are you in a dual screen system? We have observed the eyedropper tool just works properly in the primary screen.

no i one screen of the laptop ;
about instances we can't select them ( i have scene with many instances ) if you add option in select object menu : select instances
and in select instances with same material to group them easily

Instances are just like regular objects now, you can select them directly, there is no select instances mode anymore.

There must be something else these instances have in common? If not materials, then maybe their name. You can do a selection by name and use * as a wildcard. Right click in the Object list>Select by keyword. From the docs:
Selecting by keyword
Right click in the Object Parameters panel and choose Select by keyword. You can use the * sign as a wildcard:
Typing C* will select all objects starting with the letter C.
Typing *ere for example will select all objects that contain the letters in order "ere" such as Sphere.
