I don't think you can automate Firebug in that way. If you can, I
hope someone will correct me -- because I would also like to be able
to automatically run Firebug against many Web pages and generate a
report.
I think that you want an automated Web GUI testing framework like
Selenium. This is what I use when I need to check that the DOM has
loaded as intended, across many pages.
Selenium is not the only such tool (IBM Rational Functional Tester
comes to mind) but it is free and, most importantly, the core
technology is implemented in pure JavaScript.

Currently I do not know of a way to use Firebug from within
Selenium. However, Selenium can examine the DOM in much the same way
Firebug can, and it can do it in an automated fashion.
Particularly take a look at the Selenium RC (remote control) server.
There are also some other free automation tools (Watir) available from
the same folks that make Selenium: http://openqa.org/
I tend to design tests in Firebug, and then "port" them over to
Selenium when I want to automate.
