John, Thanks. I can modify the server to not cache these debug files.
The implication of that Mozilla bug report is that Firebug has worked around all the problems. It seems likely that the issues I have seen at http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=1054 are related to the same bug. I'll do some more testing to try and establish that. It might be worthwhile making another "official" posting in the Mozilla bug report about these new Firebug issues that can't be worked around.
