Firebug close button

Question

Is there an easy way to hide/disabled or change meaning of "close" button in Firebug 1.5? I am talking about "power like" button in top-right corner of Firebug window.

I have a "small" problem with this button because I constantly hit it when I want to minimize Firebug window. But it disables the Fb window as well. I know there is a minimize button on the left, by for some reason (maybe that is how it worked in previous versions) I treat this "power off" button as minimize button and I can't (and don't want :) to get rid of that habit.

Is there any way to change the behaviour of this buttons so it works as I would like it (minimizing instead of disabling)?

Answer 1

You'll find the firebug source code in

C:\Documents and settings\username\ApplicationData\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\randomChars.default\extensions\

From in here you'll be able to change the action of the close button

Answer 2

Further to Ruth's suggestion, if you navigate to:

C:\Documents and Settings\\ApplicationData\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.default\extensions\[email protected]\content\firebug

And open firebug.js, you should be able to find the following function:

closeFirebug: function(userCommand)  // this is really deactivate
{
    var browser = FirebugChrome.getCurrentBrowser();

    TabWatcher.unwatchBrowser(browser, userCommand);
    Firebug.resetTooltip();
},

Simply change this to:

closeFirebug: function(userCommand)  // this is really deactivate
{
    Firebug.toggleBar(false);
},

... now clicking the deactivate (close) button will simply minimize the Firebug panel.
