With Firefox 5/Firebug 1.8, when I open a window using
window.open(..), Firebug will not open in the popup window (either F12
or from toolbar) AND window.close is disabled. I have tested this will
all addons disabled except Firebug.

Please try Firebug 1.8.1b1: http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.8/

It contains a fix for this. See http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=4699
for more info.
If it's still a problem for you, then please try to track it down to a
simle test case, so we can fix it.

That did not fix or change the behavior.

I had included a simple example in the original email. Here it is again:

THIS IS THE CODE FOR THE MASTER TEMPLATE:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
	<title></title>  
	<script language="JavaScript">
	<!--	
	function openWin (){
		popupNamesDefault=window.open("testPopup.htm", 
		"popupWin", "width=200px,height=100px,top=25px,left=25px,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,menubar=1")
 	}
	// -->
	</script>
</head>

<body>
<input name="testOpen" id="testOpen" onclick="openWin()" value="Open Popup" type="button">
</body>
</html>

THIS IS THE CODE FOR THE POPUP WINDOW. Create a separate template with the following code named testpopup.htm

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head></head> 
<body>
Test Window
<input name="btnClose" id="btnClose" onclick="window.close()" value="Close Window" type="button">
</body></html>

Created your examples. Works as expected (f12 opens FB in popup, Close btn closes popup)
using...
FF 5
FB 1.8.1b1
