At this step you opened Firebug, that is you set its placement to in-
browser. From this point forward until you minimize or detach the
placement will be in-browser.

Well you deactivated Firebug for the web page. I can see now why you
think that you also changed the placement.

First there is the UI: it now looks the same as minimized.
Second there is the experience from 1.3, where the same motion results
in minimize.

Right, using the placement which has not changed since step 6: in-
browser.

Not only not a 'bug', but also not known as an issue.  That is, no one
wrote down that sequence and explained what they expected.

I don't see a clear simple solution.  Causing Off to also Minimize
will but just as confusing to other users I guess.

A clearer UI for minimize, that is very or at least clearly different
from suspended (where you end up after Off) would help.
