Found it. https://groups.google.com/d/topic/firebug/fS_Szmt6QZE/discussion. 
The first person describes another issue than you. You say that the 
stepping functionality doesn't work when you hit a breakpoint, while he 
says that he can't set any breakpoints and just sees a throbber where the 
breakpoint should be.

I am using Firefox 35.0.1 + Firebug 2.0.8 on Win7 and I did not encounter

Yes, I tried it while Firebug was detached on several websites and it did 
not happen to me. The debugger buttons were always activated once the 
script execution was halted. My steps on one of the pages:

   1. Opened Firebug on 
   https://getfirebug.com/tests/manual/console/joes-original/test.html
   2. Enabled and switched to the *Script* panel
   3. Set a breakpoint at line 23 of test.html (console.log("This is a call 
   to log with multiple arguments.", document.body, 42);)
   4. Clicked the log button on the page

=> The execution halted at line 23 and the debugger buttons were active.

 A test case is what I did above. I.e. writing down the steps you did on a 
specific page where the problem can be reproduced. See 
https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Creating_a_Test_Case for more info.
If you don't have time to create a test case, you should follow the quick-fix 
steps described on the first aid page 
<https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/I_found_a_Firebug_Bug!#The_quickest_way_to_stop_having_the_problem>.
 
Though if you want the bug to be fixed, you should follow the instructions 
to help the team understand the problem 
<https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/I_found_a_Firebug_Bug!#To_understand_the_problem_so_it_can_be_fixed>
.

Then I wonder how they could fix issues, which were not obvious. Generally 
a programmer needs to be able to reproduce a bug in order to fix it.
