It helps a bit but will this mean debuggers and catch all errors will trigger the Firebug window to open? I have grown quite used to that behavior and am always at a loss when I open Firebug and there is nothing in the console.
I make some changes to the code and reload and the app doesn't load but it takes a while for me to realize that it's because I made syntax error in my last change and there is no longer any indication of this from Firebug (error logged or Firebug popping up). Please don't make the application friendly to casual users at the expense of long time, continuous use application developers. I don't care how many resources it uses Firebug is no use to me if it's not ready to use all the time at the drop of a hat. If some weird bug occurs I want the full logs available regardless of whether I had Firebug open or not. It's a question of whether Firebug wants to be web page developer friendly or web application (RIA) developer friendly.
