Question

they keep chaning the firebug UI like ever week these days and I not really sure what happened to the option of enable firebug on “this page”. It only has it for every website or no website.

It is really annyoing both of these options. Since every site I go to firebug comes up and gets in the way but if I have it off then I have to always remember to turn it on for my site I am working on then turn it off after.

I am using firebug 1.4.2

Thanks

Check the Firebug 1.4 Activation and How to enable and disable Firebug 1.4 blog posts for the full scoop on the new scheme.

The basics are

• One click to open Firebug on a web page, Ctrl+R to reload the page to see details in the Console, Script or Net panel.
• One click to minimize Firebug, work with the page, one click to reopen Firebug.
• One click to close Firebug on a page you don’t want to debug after all.

That is, minimize FireBug on pages that you want it to keep analyzing and be available, close it for sites that you don’t want to analyze again. It should remember whether it was open or closed when you revisit:

Firebug remembers active pages and closed pages. When the page starts to load, Firebug opens if the page was active last time. If a page was closed last time, Firebug will not open (even if the load was caused by a link from an active page).
