The following error message appears in the Messages area:

Drupal for Firebug General Messages
There were no messages sent to the general log. Please use "firep($item, $optional_title)" to output messages to this console.

This after taking the following steps:

1. Install DrupalforFirebug FF3 add-on
2. Install Drupal for Firebug module
3. Navigate to a Drupal node
4. Click on the Drupal tab in Firebug ("General" is selected by default)

Same thing when I open the Drupal tab while viewing http://drupalforfirebug.chapterthree.com/tests/nodes

Is this an expected outcome for the Drupal -> General tab in most cases? I've used Firebug before but am still getting up to speed on Drupal integration and wasn't sure if I this indicated a specific problem with my setup or not.

With respect to the 'General' tab, have a look at http://drupal.org/node/352836. It's a place where you can output stuff by placing a call to that function from your code executing on the page being viewed.

The general tab outputs things (in the same way a print_r($variable)) might. You call it specially in code. If you are not writing code, you dont have to worry about it.
