That was me, and I find it a little irritating that functionality that
was supported in every prior version of firebug now doesn't function
at all (in fact, there is no support whatsoever for it).

Despite what Steven is claiming here, I doubt that the vast majority
of Firebug users who also happen to be developers create brand new
profiles and go through the hassle of switching profiles every time
they want to do some debugging, and then go through the hassle again
every time they want to do some casual browsing. An extension like
this shouldn't be limited by a case that imposes massive limitations
on the poeple using it.

I really, really don't care if the activation model is moving this way
anymore. I've spent hours thinking about it, hating it, being annoyed
by the seeming ambivalence you and the other developers seem to ghave
towards this issue. If you are going to take it there, fine.

I still would like support for my use case, and I don't think it can
be that hard. Add a magic blacklist by right-click bug, ignore this
domain. Magic action lists seem to be the modus operandi of Firebug
now, so adding one more shouldn't be a big deal. You can have this
list store domains the same way they are stored for the magic
whitelist and then I can have On for all pages checked and ignore
sites like Gmail that don't play nice with Firebug and I have no
interest in ever debugging. The closer Firebug can act to 1.2, the
better. IMO.
