Hello,

Here is my platform: Mac OSX Leopard (10.5.7).

Here is my browser: Firefox 3.5.2 (Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0
(Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729
Firefox/3.5.2)

Here is my Firebug: 1.4.2

Problem: Crazy-bad performance in any window under test case

Test case:
 * open firefox 3.5 and several tabs
 * in one tab, go to gmail.com
 * disable firebug
 * go to gmail.com
 * verify that performance in all cases is normal
 * enable firebug
 * enable every firebug panel EXCEPT console (disabled)
 * verify that performance in all cases is normal
 * enable the CONSOLE
 * in gmail, click 'compose message'
 * start typing

PROBLEM: the performance has become so bad that the characters you're
typing only appear at a rate of 1 character per second.  Every other
tab and window is also performance-hit.  If you try, you can get the
'stop script' dialog to appear, which cites a Firebug script, lib.js,
at line 1176 (I think -- I should double check) as being the lagging
line.

I hope this helps.

-Eddie
