But this IS the common use case: We have a site of our own that we're
debugging. We want Firebug up all the time for that site and never for
others. We're not just whining about something we were used to; this
is actually a worse design for the common cases.

BTW, what *is* the use case for the new activation model? AFAICT, it's
only more convenient if you frequently decide to debug arbitrary sites
out of sheer curiosity, and want to be sure you can easily switch it
on and off per-tab because you only want to debug *one* arbitrary site
while you surf others. I'm certainly sympathetic to tinkering, but
favoring an odd use case that only makes sense for casual fiddling
over the more common one that may have professionals using Firebug for
hours each day simply makes little sense.

Besides, even if tinkering *is* such a compelling use case, is it
really so overwhelmingly so that it's worth *eliminating* the
functionality far better suited to debugging a single site? Firebug is
a development tool, and now you've hamstrung its usability as a tool
used for focused development.
