It's that I don't understand this feature and, since it will be
invisible, I think it can be a trap for users. For example, consider
the "break on errors" feature. People select it, they break on the
error, they love it. They go off and fix the error. The next day
Firebug is broken. It keeps breakpointing all over the place. That's
because they forgot the invisible break on error option was set.

But let's go back the "why minimize always". Is the reason for this
feature like this: "I don't mind Firebug's overhead, I'm good with it
being active all the time, every page, just in case I want to debug a
page"?
