-- I would consider why you are using Prototype in your extension, are
you sure you really need it? --

I'm using another library that uses it (for it's asynchronous stuff)
so I would have to either modify that library not to depend on it or,
find another library that serves the same function without requiring
it. (The library I'm using is a JS SOAP library as FF3 dropped SOAP
support.)

I would still be interested in knowing whether or not there is
something that Firebug could change (a la Zotero 
http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/601/,
https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/597) re: supporting Array.prototype
extensions.
