After using Firebug 1.6b1 in Firefox 3.6.8 for most of the day, I can confirm that the problems mentioned in my previous report are still apparent: (1) scrolling a large js file doesn't work (script window flickers and jumps around erratically); (2) Firebug's mappings to source code locations don't work; that is, on breakpoints or when jumping to a function definition using shift-enter, the window navigates to a completely incorrect location. Note that the latter problem usually fixes itself if I shift-click the browser's refresh button, but only for a little while.
I should mention that this is on OS X. What can be done to track down these bugs? The source code in question is unfortunately not public, but I could arrange private access if that would help.
