If by crash you mean that Firefox exits and you get a crash reporter
dialog, then please use URL about:crashes and post the crash stats
URL.

Don't use On for all web page or Off for all web pages.

Yes this is how Firebug works. (Assuming you have otherwise default
settings).

I'm uncertain what you mean here. If you debug a web site, then stop
looking at the site for any reason (close the Firefox tab with red x,
open a new URL in the tab) the Firebug will be closed (since the new
URL was not debugged). Later if you open the site Firebug is active.

Firebug 1.4 supports this already. Just open Firebug on localhostk,
Youtube, ... whatever.
