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. > 7. Close firebug with the Off button 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. > 8.

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. jjb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
