I view the fundamental problem here as the *conflation of the display UI with the whitelist*. In addition to all that's been written here, I'll add that it severely hampers the usage of Firebug in external- window mode. Firebug 1.3 (and earlier) behavior clearly and cleanly established that Firebug acted like a background process with a hide-able UI display, similar to instant messenger clients. I believe the solution for 1.5 or asap is to simply *give the whitelist a separate affordance* and restore the effect-free display/hide of the UI. If Firebug remains committed to the UI == whitelist concept, I could file a couple bugs on the whitelist v. external window troubles - but I'd much rather have the root issue improved. First time poster, love the product and use it every day, here giving feedback because this is a big deal. "What the *** was wrong with it before?" a co-worker opined as we tried together to figure out what was going on with 1.4. To sum: Problem: addition of whitelist/blacklist effect to display/hide of UI, which had formerly been effect-free Solution: add separate affordance for whitelist/blacklist, disentangling that function from the UI's visibility James On Jul 5, 10:16 pm, John J Barton <[email protected]> wrote: > Here are the main points I took away from discussions about > 1.4:http://blog.getfirebug.com/?p=232 > > If something you raised is not on this list, then I did not understand > it, could not fix it, or forgot about it.
