I can't figure out what behavior is a problem here from your description. So this is just a guess: you have Firebug enabled on a lot of pages. You minimize it on one page, then switch to another page and unminimize it. Then you return to the previous page and expect Firebug to be minimized? Perhaps you can see from the way I wrote that description that there two possible user experience outcomes in that case. One is that the state of minimized is global to Firefox and does not depend upon the page or tab. In the other view, Firebug's minimize is remembered for each page (or the firefox tab). Both approaches are valid, Firebug 1.4 uses the first one. I also suggest you try resetting the firebug options: Firebug Icon Menu (upper left) > Options > Reset All.

No, but that won't help you anyway, if understand your problem. The minimize/unminimize is not related to the list of web sites, it's a global property. > > I have the option set to always open FB in a new window.

The bug list is here: http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/list But I do suggest you try Firebug 1.5b1 first, since that is the first thing we will ask you to do if you report a 1.4 bug now. jjb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
