Yes, this could be perhaps displayed at the first position. I'll check this yet. It actually is (in the timeline, not in the info tip), if a request is sitting in a queue waiting for an available connection (there are max 6 connection created at a time in Firefox) the DNS Lookup and Connection times are zero (since an existing connection is reused). This time is called "Blocking" in Firebug 1.5. > Waiting for response - I guess this is the time from sending the HTTP > request to the web server to receiving the first byte of the response?

Yes An important bug has been fixed in Firefox 3.7 (I hope will be backported also to Fx 3.6) and Firebug 1.5 is now using a new component to get precise times. I would recommend to try following configuration: Firefox 3.7a1pre http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ Firebug 1.5a24 http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.5X/firebug-1.5X.0a24.xpi This is fresh new and I'll blog about this yet.
