        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5

          Severity: Enhancement

Firefox has a concept of "watch expressions", which are expressions the use can
type into the same area as the currently visible objects (during a debug
pause).  Note these are expressions, and not simple variable names.  The
expressions are evaluated each time the debugger pauses.  The expressions are
rendered in the UI exactly the same as variables, only instead of the
variable/property name, the expression is listed.

Developers I work with that use FireBug have indicated that this support is
quite valuable to them.

We should add this to Web Inspector.
