But it is not at all scientific. We have 250,000 downloads a week. In
a poll we get 25 answers, or 2500 answers or whatever. We have no way
of knowing whether or not the poll represents the Firebug users or
not. It's like take an international poll by walking out your front
door and asking your neighbors: the answers you get are just the
answers you get, it does not represent anyone other than the folks you
asked.
Plus there is no practical way to express choices easily for a poll.
The concerns of users are quite diverse. Even making questions that
most users would find interesting is difficult.

You should be able to have one Firefox instance and two Firefox
windows with two Firebug windows. But that is theory, we don't test
this. Let us know.
