As soon as I add your example to my code and refresh the page, my instance of Firebug reports me an error:

syntax error
if (var ref = document.getElementById(some_id))   file.js (line 123)

Check if Show Javascript Errors is checked in the Console mini-menu (the arrow on the Console tab). Try to reset Firebug options. Or try in a new profile, maybe there's something broken in yours.

I was debugging some code which contained in an included file

(Single '=' is intended. I must never have tried this use of var in JS
before but apparently it is illegal syntax).

The include failed but Firebug did not report anything until something
tried to reference the constructor in the file and simply said it was
not a constructor.
Error Console did not report anything either.

I'm sad to say it was IE Developer Tools that pointed me to the syntax
error!
