Trying this in a new Firefox profile on Windows 7 with the same Firefox and Firebug versions as you I first couldn't see this problem, but after some switching between tabs and restarting the browser it happened to me, too. Though a simple page reload could always fix those issues.
While testing this I ran into another (known) issue <https://github.com/firebug/firebug/issues/7867>, which is a throbber shown forever instead of the breakpoint. Note that Firebug 3 will integrate into the built-in DevTools, which obviously don't have this issue. As focus lies on Firebug 3 development, I also doubt that this bug will still be fixed for Firebug 2. So I suggest to give the built-in Firefox DevTools a try. (Note: Their debugger can be opened via Ctrl+Shift+S.)
