One of the things I like about Firefox is Firebug. I wonder why Gmail has started showing this ugly red flag recently ...
I think it is ugly because it does not make sense to have it as a red flag. People who run Firebug know that there is an overhead involved with it.
But it's the G-muscle, what can you do?

This is because Firebug uses a javascript hijacking technique to record XHR requests. Gmail protects its users by adding "while(1);" to the beginning of the response which throws hackers and firebug into an infinite loop.
