< Daniel has already reported that he does not have these problems any more >
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.
