If you would like to write an extension to view and manipulate the
page annotations, we would be happy to help. Dumping the list of
annotations to the Console would be fairly easy. Removing entries
would also not be difficult, though you can do that by visiting the
page and then turning Firebug off. Add entries is much harder, and you
can do that now by opening the page then opening Firebug.
To disable all existing annotations, use Firebug Statusbar icon right
click "Off for all pages".

As a relatively lightweight Firebug user, you should not need to care
about the the whitelist/blacklist either.

We did consider tab-oriented activation, but sites that open new
windows would then be difficult to include.
Please try Firebug 1.4 as it is, and if you have specific
difficulties, let us know in concrete step by step terms.
