I think what's missing here, is that there is a 3rd option, where both
"on" and "off" are both disabled. A week ago I was having the same
problem as described. I had "Off for all pages" enabled. When this
didn't do what I wanted, I selected "On for all pages" which disabled
"Off for all pages". It took me several days before I happened to
*accidentally* select the currently enabled option in the menu, that I
realized there is a 3rd option. This 3rd option seems to remember the
on/off state of Firebug on a per domain basis (please correct me if
I'm wrong) which is exactly what I wanted.

Perhaps there is a better way to present these three states. Currently
we have the menu equivalent of two checkboxes:
[ ] Off for all pages
[ ] On for all pages

The problem is the way this is implemented is more like radio buttons
because turning one on turns the other off. This hides the fact that
they can both be off.
Perhaps if there was a 3rd menu item for "Remember state for all
pages" or something like that, and all 3 would be mutually exclusive.
