If you have a page x.foo.com open, the Activate Same Origin Urls option causes Firebug to activate any other page you open on *.foo.com. The option does not cause any GET. As far as I am aware, Firebug currently does no network activity to a debugged site. You might try a new Firefox profile. This fixes a lot of weird cases. jjb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
