I need to disable firebug for my html page as I am using a hidden

firebug for such page?
The root problem seems to be that you are trusting the client not to
modify the hidden input field.
You may not be able to prevent firebug, but you could use some
javascript onsubmit() handler to detect if firebug is running, and
refuse to submit if it is. Detection could work e.g. like this:
if (window.console && window.console.firebug) {
// do something if firebug
alert("Firebug running");
}
This of course could also be subverted... (The user could possibly
remove window.console.firebug or redefine your onsubmit handler or...)
You won't be able to prevent a client from sending you bogus submits if
he is determined enough. There are 1089734 other ways than firebug he
could use and some you won't be able to detect at all.
