Firebug is a great piece of software but the recent change in activation is making things tricky for my web development work and general browsing.
For example right now I have 20+ tabs open. I want firebug active on them all except my Gmail tab (as it makes Gmail run like a dog) but if I click "On for All Web Pages" then the "off" button isn't present so I can't disable it for the Gmail domain. If I choose "Off for All Web Pages" then I don't have the Gmail issue but if I make Firebug active for a tab/domain and then switch tabs when I come back to the original tab Firebug is off again. I think the thing that is missing is the ability for Firebug to maintain it's state between tab switches - like becoming a background process. I am not sure if this is a bug or part of the new feature. Either way perhaps you can help me by suggesting the settings I should use to enable Firebug permanently on certain tabs but disable it permanently on other tabs, and I still want to be able to minimise Firebug (but it carries on running) for the tabs it is activated on - as far as I can see this is only possible with domain based activation?
