I've had this issue a couple times too. It does seem to be triggered by a Firebug update.
I think the issue is the timing -- the tab seems to open significantly after Firefox starts, instead of immediately upon start. For example, I started my laptop this morning, opened my email, did some searching, closed some tabs, and then while I was reading something, the Firebug release notes tab opened up. The fact that it interrupts whatever I'm doing is of course a bad user experience. I don't imagine Firebug controls that timing, and possibly this is a Firefox bug or specific to my profile. On a side note, I'd be happy with a small notification on the Firebug toolbar button that signals an update happened (similar to the notification that a JS error occurred, and I could find the link to the release notes if I want to read them. That would resolve this, albeit in a roundabout way. Hope that's helpful. -A On Monday, August 6, 2012 1:31:03 AM UTC-7, Sebastian Zartner wrote: > > The release notes page should just be shown after an update or resetting > the Firebug options. > We made two bug fix releases the last days.
