Thanks Pedro.  I starred and chimed in on the issue.  I hope it gets
fixed because I'm stuck between Chrome and Firefox right now.  Chrome
is mostly awesome since the Mac got extensions and some other
upgrades.  But I still can't get into the developer tools.  They're
powerful but the usability is just awful compared to firebug.
