Bug Description

Binary package hint: firebug

Using Latest Firebug installed through synaptic with Firefox 3 - and a new profile.

When you make an ajax request, using POST the request is captured correctly in the firebug console, but the response appears to be the response with no params to the request URL.

Eg.
Using Google Calendar

POST http://www.google.com/calendar/event 268ms

Params:
Request Headers

This is a FIREBUG issue, as the actual web page loads fine and you can use Google Reader (and other ajax apps), its just that firebug reports the response incorrectly!

I have also tried firebug from SVN branch http://fbug.googlecode.com/svn/branches/firebug1.2 rev 585 - same problem
