Of course, 10 minutes after posting this, I found exactly what I was looking for.
Right clicking on the Firebug icon in the Firefox status bar shows the options: "Off for All Web Pages" "On for All Web Pages" I think the new "Off" button is confusing. It's location is such that it seems it could mean "close the Firebug panel", but that is not the actual functionality. Instead, it disables Firebug for the current site (which also closes the Firebug panel). The "minimize Firebug" button should be in the location that the "Off" button is in (at least, as a Windows user, that's where I would expect it to be located, since minimize essentially equals close the panel). I would probably move that Off button to somewhere where it won't be confused as a close/minimize Firebug button. In addition, the "Off for All Web Pages" and "On for All Pages" selection should also exist in the Firebug "Options" menu. That was where I went looking initially. Thanks.
