parent var breaks firebug

[mike]

It seems that naming any old variable parent (which is allowed in
firefox) breaks firebug on refresh after the code has been run.
The following code, placed in the head tag:

parent = 'hello';
document.write(parent);
console.log(parent);

runs properly the first time the page is loaded, on refresh the code
runs properly again (hello is written to the document), however a
"console is not defined" error is thrown and inspecting in firebug is
disabled. Continuing to causes the same error, but the console is not
cleared between refreshes.

Other than this, I love the FB1.0 betas, thanks for a fantastic tool!

Just writing to confirm this bug. The variable 'parent' needs to
exist in the global scope for it to be an issue.
