Good suggestion. I'll try to report bugs this way.

Here is what I meant from the first post:

1. open http://getfirebug.com
2. type "document"
3. type TAB
4. bug: now you're in address bar

Here is what I meant from the second post:

1. open http://getfirebug.com
2. type "docc"
3. type TAB
4. bug: now you're in address bar
