To follow up: after a few days of development things are holding up
pretty well, with two caveats.

1. I often evaluate a function name in the console to get a definition
I can click on to jump to its source code. Sometimes Firebug doesn't
jump to the right place, but rather the top of the script file. This
happens the first time I do this in a Firebug session; I have the
impression it happens at other times too, but I don't remember. (I
last observed this in FF 3.03, Firebug 1.2.1 on OS X.)

2. Something I did this week caused all the nasty problems to return,
which I solved by recreating my FF profile. I wish I knew what I did,
as refreshing the profile is time-consuming (any ideas?). Still, at
least it restores Firebug to good working order.
