I am a big fan of Firebug - I use it all the time for my web development needs. However, one of the things I've noticed with Firebug is that it slows down the page significantly. In particular, if Firebug is turned on when the (local) Selenium script is executed, the script takes 2-3 times longer, and sometimes I even see timeout errors. Their activation model on each site here does not help at all - I am developing and testing the same site.
I would like to turn on Firebug OFF just before my selenium script starts, and turn it on again when Selenium is done (or, in the worst case, just turn it off - the biggest annoyance runs Selenium to find out that some tests failed for no apparent reason).
