You can make firebug always on (right-click the icon in the bottom bar). I've also been playing around with an extension for my own development that forces firebug to always be on for my development domain. I've got issues with it where it is minimized when it shouldn't be or maximized when it shouldn't be, and I've never tested "open in new window" but it is working fine for me. The email thread where I've asked questions about the extension is titled "Help with extension to enable Firebug at a specific domain". I could post my code and let you try and make it work for you.

I'm going to chime in with another dislike of the new design... it really is a pain if i am on site www.mmm.com, i want Firebug active and watching what's going on... i don't want to worry if the Firebug panel is showing, "active for current tab" or anything, the like...... what I do want is the ability to have it watching a given domain no matter what... because i want to see my full browser window and if there's an error or some AJAX call is taking too long, i want to be able to click the bug icon, see the panel and watch the request, not have to refresh the page and start over because i didn't have the panel pulled up... (1.3 was great with this) this is a situation "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" On Jun 30, 11:05 am, Kara Rawson <karacu...@gmail.com> wrote: > johnjbarton wrote: > > We'd be interested in what problems you are encountering.
