Since firebug does not expose itself via a request header its presence or absence in unknown to the web server.

You would need some client side js in the page that checks for and then sends the result of window.console.firebug to a php script which then associates that result in a session variable.

You can't do this. However, it's possible with JavaScript:

if (window.console && window.console.firebug) {
  /* firebug found! */
}

Not on a normal http request, however you can check it with javascript on the client, then make an ajax to the server with the response and act acording to it. detect firebug with javascript

I don't think that there are any possibilities to check with PHP, but with JavaScript: finding out if console is available

PHP is on server side, I don't think there's method to find the client side plugin info. Unless, you can control the browser, then you can detect and put the info in HTTP request, so that server can know.
