Let's see. First Firebug is an "extension" or an "add-on", not a
plugin.
I guess a state of systems interaction would be when Firebug has
active listeners on the web page. We'd call that "active".

Well, since "closed" could be ambiguous. We use "closed" to mean not
active. So your Firebug On + Closed is what we call "minimized".

Ok, sure.

Well "on and not closed" would be "minimized".

? What defect. I don't get it.

I think a more effective way to communicate these issues is to
describe the buttons/key you push and the state you see/don't see.
