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?

Thanks!
Joshua
