Most probably yes. Though I guess it's unclear what is meant by 'disabled'. With having Firebug disabled for a page I mean the Firebug icon (aka Firebug Start Button <https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Start_Button>) is gray, *not* that the whole extension is disabled.

But just follow my other suggestions, i.e. create a new Firefox profile/disable all extensions. Doing you can easily see whether it's related to any extension.
