Well, I am glad to see that it is not just me that is frustrated on
this issue. I thought I was being difficult. The comparison of 1.3 to
XP and 1.4 to Vista actually went through my mind too :) even though I
used FB mostly on OSX.

I would like to be able to do what I could do in 1.3. Disable FB for
gmail lets say in one tab and enable it for the sites that I am
working on in another tab.

Well I installed from scratch and using OSX with FF3.5. When I click
on the bug icon and it opens up, it stays on for all sites. If I click
off, it is still on when the page is refreshed

I had read somewhere on a forum posting that the reason the feature of
a per site on or off was removed to save memory and memory should not
be an issue.
