My problem was clicking the X to minimize Firebug as I have been for the past 2-3 years. Clicking minimize has solved most of my frustrations.
Using X to close Firebug makes sense UI-wise but no sense when version 1.3 used it to minimize. Adding a notification the first time you click X saying "Did you realise you have turned Firebug off? Use the minimize arrow, if you would like Firebug to continue when minimized".
