Firebug only knows what state (placement) it is in. The placement is
not related to the page or url or tab.

Thank you for taking the time to create the clear list of
instructions.
In final step, 6, I go to getfirebug.com and I notice that the Firebug
icon becomes orange and the tooltip says "minimized". Firebug does
*not* open.
If Firebug had opened, I would consider this to be a bug that has to
be fixed.
Let me know if you want to investigate this issue further. It would
involve installing the tracing version and posting traces to the
issues list.

I agree completely. Our only point of difference is that Firebug does
not open for me.

Here I do not agree since turning off Firebug is not the same as
minimizing.
The activation state of a URL is not connected to the Firebug
placement.
Once minimized, Firebug should stay minimized until commanded to open
in the browser, no matter what page you visit or no matter what your
activation list looks like.
