Hey Dan, I'm seeing something similar. I don't know if this is your case but this is what I've discovered. If the url you specify with the - startupUrl does NOT point to a page that uses GWT, the "FF" tab is never seen in the development mode window. Even if you browse to a page that uses GWT, you will not see the "FF" tab and you cannot debug the client-side code. If the -startupUrl points to a page that uses GWT then everything works fine. I created a post on this problem a few weeks ago and I have not seen a response. If you figure something out please post your solution.
