Firebug's inspector is out of alignment. To debug this I want to inspect
the Firebug HTML in Chromebug while Firebug is inspecting a web page. So
I break into the debugger on the next JS call. This bit works, I end up
on a mouse move handler. Unfortunately this does not halt Firebug, so as
soon as I move the mouse, Firebug changes its state.

When Firebug breakpoints into a web page, that web page's JS is halted,
but of course Firebug's JS in the XUL window continues to run. So there
are (at least) two "JS threads" (I don't know if they are related to OS
treads).

But somehow Firebug has more than one or what I don't know. I am hoping
someone can shed some light on the issues.
