How can I get Firebug to start automatically in a popup window?

Question

I've got Firebug open on my website, and then I click a button which opens a popup window. However, Firebug is always greyed out by default in the popup window. I can click the icon or press F12 to start it, but I really need it to start itself, immediately, because I want to watch the AJAX requests that happen on page initialization of the popup window. By the time I click or press F12 it's already too late; it's missed those requests.

How do I get Firebug to persist in my popup window?

Answer 1

There is an option in the Firebug menu called On For All Web Pages, which opens Firebug automatically. Though unfortunately that also doesn't allow you to track the network requests.

So this actually looks like a bug to me. You should report that in the Firebug issue tracker, so it can be fixed.
