Maybe I'm missing something, but if FB is closed, I don't expect it to gather info. If I open it and have to reload it, that to me is perfectly fine, and more desirable, then having FB open when I don't request it. I'd expect FB to be doing nothing when closed, and doing stuff when open. As it stands, I think most folks do debugging for a period of time, so having to open it once and perhaps reload just one time is a minimal thing. Right?
