I think that if you set Firebug to open in new window, then call
TabWatcher.watchBrowser(browser) and pass your browser element then
some thing might work.

I guess that any Firebug activity in Firefox will get confused with
this non-Firefox browser. The Firebug object lives in the Firefox
browser so the only sure fire way is to overlay your window with the
Firebug code so Firebug lives in your window.

Chromebug would work without any changes I guess. So then you don't
need to do anything except help devs with a bit of user guide to set
Chromebug to work for your window.
