When I open Ubiquity and start to issue a particular command, my
Firebug pane will open. See http://bit.ly/40TXiJ: I type Option+Space,
and start to type 'a-d-d'. Before I could get that far the Firebug
pane had come up.

Looking at the Console tab (which had been disabled), I see some
output from this command. However, I don't need to log output
(wouldn't it go to the Error Console if Firebug weren't enabled?) and
it isn't even an actual error. (That may be more at the fault of the
command author than anything else.)

Is there a way to disable this?

I had originally posted this on the Ubiquity-Firefox group [1], but it
was determined that this was a Firebug issue. Well, I guess it's more
like an issue with my Ubiquity command, but it's not something I need
Firebug for.

Firebug has no relationship with the Error Console. If the log output
wants to go to the Error Console we can't help or hinder that.

I'm not sure that "this" is. Firebug does not know anything about
Ubiquity.

Before you open the Ubiquity command line, do you have Firebug open?
Do you have Firebug active for the current Firefox tab? If yes, turn
Firebug off for that page with the control in the upper left.


If nothing else you can install the tracing version of firebug,
1.5Xb2, and set ACTIVATION to see why Firebug wants to open. See
http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ for details

No and no. Issuing the Ubiquity command is when the Firebug pane
actually opens.

Do you want me to post the output here? There are about 20 lines that
don't make sense to me immediately.

Thanks.
