Unfortunately all the browser (and hence Firebug) has is 'here is a
chunk of html/js/css/whatever that the server has sent me'. It has no
knowledge of where the text comes from, or how it is generated. (If it
has sent a request itself, for example when interpreting a <script
src='...'> tag, often this will correspond to a particular file on the
server, but not necessarily: the script could in principle have been
generated on the fly by a CGI program). #

The only stupid question is the one that you're too embarassed to ask.
