I personally don't like how firebug operates now regarding site specific operation. The way I use it seems to be mostly typical going by this thread. I want it open for all of the sites I visit during the day (sites that my company develops for), but I never want it open for any google app. If I leave firebug on and go to my companies email google app my browser eventually hangs and hogs up 50% of my cpu. Regarding having multiple profiles open, this seems like I would be working around a bug when in fact I am trying to circumvent a new design direction.
