On the contrary, our efforts to build our test system, extensive
tracing and self-debugging support, dedicated attention to fixing bugs
reported to our bug list, and close coordination with the Firefox team
cause Firebug to be steadily less buggy while delivering more
features. I have great confidence that every version of Firebug has
been more solid that the previous one.

Based on this description, but without a test case, my first guess
would be that you have htmlValidator installed. While I was unable to
determine why htmlValidator breaks Firebug, I cannot reproduce any
similar problem in 1.5.

If you post a reproducible test case, I will fix it.

My suggestion is to upgrade to Firebug 1.5X.0b5, http://getfirebug.com/releases,
the most complicated *and* least buggy Firebug yet.
