We've already decided not to do this. But you should consider using
Firebug detached in to a new window, Cntrl Click the Firebug statusbar
icon or right click and pick Open in New window.

Well it's not "automagically" expanded. It opened because you switched
to a tab you want to debug.

That is not the paradigm. The paradigm is to be active on pages you
want to debug. If you deactivate it with Off, then naturally it won't
show up on that tab.
The 'placement' (in browser, minimized, or detached in a new window)
is independent of the tab. If you have it open in browser on one tab,
then it will be open in browser on all tabs *that are active*. (And it
will be closed and inactive on other tabs).
So the effect you are seeing is deactivation by tab switching. That is
how Firebug allows you to read email in one tab and debug in another.
I hope it is clearer now.
