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.
