Sorry for the delay in responding. I went on a vacation and came down with a nasty flu afterward :-(
In my case, the Ajax request was made by the Firefox extension itself to a given server site, not by the Javascript code in the loaded page. Does this address your issue with the third-party site? What I expect to capture is the communication between the Firefox extension and the given server site that services the Firefox extension. Can Firebug do this, or do I have to use a different tool?
