Can you make Firebug start before the page loads when Firefox opens?

[P Osborne]

Hi, I am using FirePHP, which relies on the Net panel. Every time I open Firefox (from Eclipse) I have to refresh the page because the Net panel says 'Net panel activated. Any requests while the net panel is inactive are not shown.' I assume this means Firebug is starting a little too late to catch the page loading. Is there a way to make Firebug load before the page has loaded, perhaps even delaying the page load until Firebug is ready?

There is a preference called extensions.firebug.delayLoad, though it doesn't work properly yet. Therefore I reported issue 6015.

Thanks, Sebastian. I had tried that option, purely guessing what it does! As you point out it, it doesn't work properly yet and did not work for me. I see you raised the issue a year ago, I'm guessing it would take a fair bit of digging into the Firefox code to solve it.
