Sorry. I had stripped out the .xpi file on firebug uninstallation and did not put it 
back in (still manual step). Re-doing the test with the .xpi, I found no hang, but 
there was also no detection of its absence and instruction to install Firebug.

I'm assuming that this was before the extension+firebug installation features were implemented (due to the issue
creation date), so I'm marking this as FIXED.
Comment 3 _ krystyna 2008-04-24 00:23:01 UTC
Correct. 

Verified Firebug installation with Solaris, Mac and Windows.
