Your expectation makes sense, but as far as I know venkman is an 
extension to firefox and hence is loaded after the firefox starts.

I think with FF3 something better could be done: I remember some 
discussion of an "app" command line argument which puts firefox into a 
kind of XULRunner mode.

I am working on Chromebug to bring Firebug to extensions. If it could 
load first with "app" then control the loading of extensions then 
extension startup could be debugged.
