The only people I listen to are people to speak up. So the numbers
just do not matter, for or against any feature. The only part I am
interested in how can we make Firebug better. I'm not going to
develop or design by any voting scheme.

We would say: if you go back to a page that was active, FIrebug will
open.

But I am sure you will get this after a few trials.

But once you get the hang of 1.4, you have:
Click the bug

Because 1 < 5. Give it a chance.
