So, for example if I have two browser windows opened (using Firefox -> File -> New Window) there are two independent instances of Firebug.
There are also ways how to share Firebug instance among more windows (through parameters when a new window is opened). This is used for example if Firebug is opened in a new window (Firefox -> Tools -> Firebug -> Open Firebug in a new window) and also for the Firebug tracing console. Anyway, there could be some hidden bug, could you file an new issue with a simple focused test case here: http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/list ?
