This has been frustrating me for a while... When I right clicked a CSS rule in the Computed tab and then cliked "Use in Command Line", this opened up a special bottom console that has no close button or any other button to rehide it. The screenshot shows a red button at the left corner, but this just shows the history of previous commands:

Firebug console in HTML tab

The little down-arrow-triangle on the current tab does not allow to expand the tab to full height either, the only tab that this bottom console does not show up is the Console tab.

The only way I found to circumvent/minimize this problem is to reduce the size of this bottom console. Still, it doesn't make much sense to do this...

This opened up a console that has no close button or any other button to hide it.

It's a "Command Line Popup".

To show/hide it click on the "Show Command Line Popup" button enter image description here which is a toggle:

Command Line

The Command Line is also available in other panels through the Command Line Popup Button ( CommandLinePopupButton.png ). To see the output of the commands you have to drag the resizer above the Command Line Popup.

    LOL! Really appreciated David, went through a lot of firebug options and thought there should be a simple way to hide it, but never dreamed it was that simple... Only your highlighting made me notice there was something there... It kind of makes sense now xD
