AFAIK, Firebug's minimize button was more than simply an alternative to
f12. Firebug was capable of running in the background even when it had no
windows showing, and I seem to vaguely remember it could even show a
"badge" on the icon (button) with a numeral warning of errors in the
current web page. (Or am I confusing it with some other tool I used?) Also
the icon would turn gray if all the panels were disabled, or orange if at
least one panel was enabled (in the background) and keeping track of
something.
OTOH, the Firefox DevTools seem to be completely turned off if they aren't
displaying any windows. If that's correct, would adding a Dock button
("Dock" is MacOS toolbar) mean that the DevTools were always on in the
background -- for example to keep track of errors, network activity,
reflows, etc. -- for example, writing to the Console even though no panel
was showing -- or would it simply be a static button to turn the DevTools
"On" + open a window? That seems like two very different things.
