This has been true in all versions of Firebug. I believe the
difference you are seeing is do to some setting you had in 1.3 and you
have not found the equivalent in 1.4.
I guess that as soon as you open Firebug you need to reload. Then you
have the same as 1.3?

This statement is incorrect. Firebug 1.3 had to be active during
reload. So in 1.3 we automatically and silently reloaded on
activation, which is perhaps why you thought it was active before the
load.
By "I don't want to refresh" did you mean "I don't want Firebug to
connect to the server again"? Then 1.4 does what you want.
But if you mean "I don't want to have to press control-R", then see
below.

The change you may be confused by is the removal of auto-reload. Now
you have to reload manually.

We are planning to add auto-reload option to 1.5; I wish we had done
it in 1.4.
