I've been using Firebug's net tab for quite some time, well over a
year. Recently, there has been a change in the way it works. I'm
assuming it's related to this "Firebug needs to be activated before it
can gather blah blah" in the net tab. The problem is, the way it was
working before, when I'd find a site I wanted to use Firebug with, all
I needed to do was open Firebug, navigate to the net tab, and all the
info I needed was there waiting for me. Now, it seems I need to have
Firebug already open before loading the page to have that info?

What if the page I need it for is one I opened into a new tab with a
right-click? And what if it's a page that I didn't know I'd need to
use Firebug for before loading it? Now that the page is loaded, the
information sent to me by the site may be different, even if I do
clear the browser cache and force a fresh reload (which is
inconvenient if it's a page that's loading a lot of media for example.
I don't have a multi-megabit connection). There is also the issue of
cookies etc. that needs to be taken into account. Now I also have to
go through and figure out what domains are sending me those cookies,
and manually delete them (or just delete ALL cookies and lose the ones
I need to keep), and THEN force a refresh without using the cache.
That's assuming that I get the same information from the server even
then.

What I'd like, and what Firebug seems to have done before (in version
1.3 maybe? I just update things when updates are available, I don't
track what the updates do, I assume they fix bugs and add features),
is to ALREADY be active on whatever sites I visit. That's the way I've
been using Firebug and that's why it has addressed my needs in the
past. I need the net tab's data there at all times, already there when
I open Firebug. Is there a way to do this? Is there a way to get it to
work the way 1.3 did which seems to have automatically reloaded the
page? Because this new way doesn't seem to meet my needs in several
instances, and I've given it a fair try on several occasions so far.
How can I fix it or do I need to downgrade from FF3.5 to FF3.0.x and
FB1.3-ish?
