Where are you reading that message? What it should say is: Right click on the Firebug Start button to find the menu item to enable/disable all panels at once. > > As I recall, the status bar icon is now working differently.

Correct, the panels are disabled by default. > Clicking the status bar icon just opens the firebug panel but does not > enable these items. Correct, the status bar icon, which we now call the Firebug start button, activates Firebug for a site. Its not related to the panels. > Also, when I enable all of them and then click > the status bar icon, the panel closes but the icon is still colored > indicating to me that FB is still enabled. Correct. The start button opens the panel and closes the panel. On the first click, if the site is not active for Firebug, the site is activated. > > All that is fine.

If it does not disable all those functions (which I suspect > is the case), then the help text is confusing to me. I hope my explanations clear things up. jjb > > pedz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
