In general Firebug extensions should attach info to the 'context', eg context.Trevan.foo = "bar". That way you don't have to deal with clean up.
Firebug puts a little data on the browser, for example, browser.showFirebug marks each browser that Firebug is open on. More generally I think you want to wait for Firebug to tell you about windows via shouldCreateContext. There are functions in TabWatcher and Firebug that have more info about the relationship between Firebug and the tabs. jjb On Jun 26, 4:10 pm, Trevan Richins <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there any reason against adding an expando to the browser object?
