As you can probably tell from reading the URLSelector source, Firebug
extensions can implement alternative activation schemes. The basic
idea is to register a TabWatcher listener:
TabWatcher.addListener(Firebug.URLSelector);
then implement
shouldCreateContext(browser, url, userCommands)
where browser is the Firefox tab, url is the page URL, and
userCommands is true if the user wanted the page debugged. The first
call to shouldCreateContext that returns 'true' will cause the page to
be debugged.
Honza has a tutorial on putting together an extension:

Currently there is no simple way to attach a listener without
implementing a Firebug module. We could add this if you would use it.
