Comment 1 _ krystyna 2008-03-29 01:26:47 UTC 
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.
Comment 2 Quy Nguyen 2008-04-23 20:40:29 UTC 
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.
