I agree with you, that there is no need for Firebug to "obfuscate" JS code. What I object, is the request to implement features that would counteract the obfuscation created by the owner of the site. What I suggested, is a method, through which owners of web-sites could allow/forbid the use of FB by strangers to "debug" their code. I think FB should not try to display obfuscated code more legibly. This would tantamount to try to decifer encripted data. I have no objection to stand-alone programs to make obfuscated code more legible, but as a feature of Firebug it would be criminal. Would you like to have programs around that spy-out your passwords, decript your private emails? I would not. Please do not turn Firebug into Spyware.
