Provide a bookmarklet for Firebug Light that is always *latest* stable version

Description:

It seems that the bookmarklet for Firebug Light is pinned to a version. So I must update
the bookmarklet to update the version I use.

Can you please provide a version of the bookmarklet that will always use the latest
stable version of Firebug Light.

Reference: http://getfirebug.com/firebuglite#Stable

Test case: Use bookmarklet, get latest version of Firebug Light.

As far as I can see the bookmarklet didn't change between 1.3.1 and 1.4.0.
With the following code you should always be able to get the latest version of Firebug
Lite:

javascript:(function(F,i,r,e,b,u,g,L,I,T,E){if(F.getElementById(b))return;E=F[i+'NS']&&F.documentElement.namespaceURI;E=E?F[i+'NS'](E,'script'):F[i]('script');E[r]('id',b);E[r]('src',I+g+T);E[r](b,u);(F[e]('head')[0]||F[e]('body')[0]).appendChild(E);E=new%20Image;E[r]('src',I+L);})(document,'createElement','setAttribute','getElementsByTagName','FirebugLite','4','firebug-lite.js','releases/lite/latest/skin/xp/sprite.png','https://getfirebug.com/','#startOpened');

Or did you see any changes in the bookmarklet when 1.4.0 was released?

Let me clarify by defining two parts of Firebug Lite.

The bookmarklet - The small bit of code stored in a bookmark. 

Firebug Lite - The JS code hosted remotely which is loaded by the bookmarklet.

(These are not meant to be official definitions. They are only meant to serve for this
report.)

It is *not* my goal to simply get a bookmarklet which will load a version of Firebug
Light which happens to be the most current version on this day, Dec 23, 2011.

It is my goal to get a bookmarklet which on *any* given day in the future will load
the version of Firebug Lite which is the most current on that day. 

In other words, a bookmarklet that will never need to be updated in order to have the
most current version of Firebug Lite.

I make this request based on my belief that the current bookmarklet does not already
behave in the way that I desire. It is my understanding that if I add the bookmarklet
which contains the code "... 'FirebugLite','4', ..." that the bookmarklet will always
load version 1.4.x. Perhaps, though, my understanding is wrong.

The '4' is indeed connected to 1.4.0. It's used to specify the version, which is used
by Firebug Lite to determine, if an info message to update will be shown inside the
Console panel. This message says "A new bookmarklet version is available. Please visit
http://getfirebug.com/firebuglite#Install and update it."

Though the bookmarklet always loads the newest version. So the only thing to do would
be to remove the version check and the message.

Then the following bookmarklet would be the one and only:

javascript:(function(F,i,r,e,b,u,g,L,I,T,E){if(F.getElementById(b))return;E=F[i+'NS']&&F.documentElement.namespaceURI;E=E?F[i+'NS'](E,u):F[i](u);E[r]('src',I+g+T);(F[e]('head')[0]||F[e]('body')[0]).appendChild(E);E=new%20Image;E[r]('src',I+L);})(document,'createElement','setAttribute','getElementsByTagName','FirebugLite','script','firebug-lite.js','releases/lite/latest/skin/xp/sprite.png','https://getfirebug.com/','#startOpened');
