Yes.  Okay, I will not respond to most of your points in light of that
realization, presuming that if you still have questions/disagreements
about the problem description that you will post them afresh.

As I understand this, you were talking about the in-page Firebug,
where there is a "Hide" (the minimize button).

This makes me sad.  I would revert to Firebug 1.3 for as long as I
could, if FF3.5 supported it.
Are you sure you wouldn't consider allowing some way to "close but not
deactivate" for the external window?  Leave the "X" doing both actions
if you like, but give a File menu option labeled "Hide" that has the
Firebug 1.3 "X" behavior?
