Ok right away I see your problem. Does Visual Studio generates as a
new file name every time? And it's not a web site so you don't even
have a domain correct?

Just to help the communications, we would not call that "up disabled".
Rather we would say "closed" (because you have no UI) and "suspended"
because the icon is gray.

If you had ever done this in the past for that URL, Firebug would
already be active.

I like "undock" but we call it "detach". If you had been detached
before, you would stay detached.

I do not consider this sequence you describe to be trivial. (Sounds a
lot like what I have to do to develop Firebug tho ;-).

Visual Studio is generating file names. If so, then the domain-name
white/black list thing has nothing to do with this since you don't
even have a domain name.
I'm not hung up on the new activation model. Rather I think it's a
great solution for the vast majority of users. But Firebug is used by
lots and lots of people in lots and lots of ways. So it's not possible
to anticipate all the cases. As a practical matter, I am personally
not going to re-work the activation model. I am willing to make
adjustments and to help extension developers. But first let's really
understand what is going on in your case.
