Actually, I said the same thing until just now. It turns out it's
pretty easy. The issue is that the Venkman extension doesn't install
anywhere in the Firefox UI, so you have to launch it explicitly.
Here's the steps I took to get it to work:

  1. Install the extension: http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/venkman

  2. Shutdown Firefox.

  3. From the command line, launch Firefox with the -venkman option.

I don't think this is too onerous. I now have a shortcut that launches
Venkman and it just feels like a stand-alone app instead of a FF
extension. Now we just need an icon for it. :^)
