I had accidentally clicked "off for all web pages", and didn't realize this meant that a page reload would close any firebug windows or panels I had opened. I was even falling back to IE to debug my pages before I finally found this article. Honestly, I don't know who would ever want such behavior. There's a big difference between "off by default" and "actively closes firebug when you reload the page". To me, it's still a bug, but I guess I won't bother reporting it because you consider it a feature. The “Off” behavior is very non-obvious.

For the longest time I thought i was simply hiding the Firebug window not deactivating it (which disables the Net tab and the console). I wrote a blog post specifically about the problems I was having with it on my blog http://www.russellheimlich.com/blog/firebug-gets-a-little-buggy/ Other than that it is a great release. I love this tool. I’ve been tripping up on the new Off button where the Xused to be to minimize it.
