There must be something else going on here. In 1.4 the user interface
for activation changed and some of the details, but broadly speaking
both 1.3 and 1.4 required the user to allow the site to be debugged
before the net panel analyzes traffic.
Specifically the user must signal that a site is to be debugged by
FIrebug. The signal is different in 1.4, you open Firebug on the URL.
After that action Firebug will be active for the site until the user
pushed "Off", explicitly declining Firebug for the site.

In 1.4 sites are active/inactive, panels are enabled/disabled. So if
the net panel is enabled (Firebug.NetMonitor.isAlwaysEnabled() ==
true) and if the site is active then the net panel will be active.
You can listen for onPanelEnable and onPanelDisable for the net panel
name.

You should not do this. The user should control the enable/disable for
the Net panel and the active/inactive state for a site. As an
extension you should be listening for events from Firebug that signal
an new context is being created (initContext), and taking action for
your feature based on these events.

? It sounds like you are a victim of the page annotation bug.
Otherwise what you ask does not make sense. Once activated a site
will have a context and all requests will be stored. If page
annotation fails, then the site activation is lost and the requests
also fail to appear. To check this you can run 1.5a21 and see if this
problem goes away.
