Look no further than every other Firefox extension that has an X for a close button, yet does not shut down, detach and practically unload itself when the X button is clicked. The major annoyance me and surely several other people have is not just that Firebug's X button is a habit for us, but that in each previous version of Firebug the X mimicked the functionality of other panel based extensions (which we still use and must keep our existing habits for), whereas now it's trying to act like it is it's own application and not following the same precedent set forth by innumerable other extensions, including older versions of Firebug. Personally, I've been editing the xul sheet for the overlay every time I update Firebug to move the off button to the left and the minimize button to the right. It makes much more sense to me to keep a function that is generally not recommended for use (as it changes an internal setting that may be unintended) in the most prime location for clicking to move the panel out of the way (you know, like all the other extensions that use in-windows panels, like AdBlock Plus or Firefox's internal Bookmarks/History panels). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
