I have been using Firebug for a very long time and this version forced
me to install Opera with dragonfly. I design and develop pages and I
want to be able to disable it for specific sites like gmail and also
enable it for specific sites (like the ones I am working on). This
always on/always off is a really bad idea. If it was done to save
memory then I guess the developers of Firebug forgot who their target
audience  is. Dont get me wrong, I appreciate a free product and I
appreciate the work behind firebug. It is a shame though to not be
able to use it anymore.

If there is anyone that installed firebug 1.3 on Firefox 3.5 please
let me know as I dont want to use Opera.

Regards
