It seems like Firefox and the web servers ought to deal with this issue. Have you looked into use gzip or compression?
Firebug gets its data from Firefox. So if you put concatenated files in, then all the things you take out (error messages, line numbers etc) are in terms of the concatenation. That means a huge number of changes to support unpacking. Perhaps you can get 80% of the value from 20% of the work. You could add a context menu item to the source view (js and css) that converts the file and line number under the mouse cursor to your source file and line number. Here's one way to proceed. Build a helloworld Firebug extension using Honza's tutorial from softwareishard: http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/firebug-tutorial/extending-firebug-hello-world-part-i/ Change the helloworld to monkey-patch Firebug.ScriptPanel.getContextMenuItems(). (That is replace its current implementation with your own, via Firebug.ScriptPanel.getContextMenuItems = function() {...}). In the code for your hacked panel: this.selectedSourceBox is the thing you see in the script panel. this.selectedSourceBox.repObject is the sourceFile object (Firebug's meta data for your big concatenation). sourceFile.href is the URL for the big file. the existing getContextMenuItems gives the line number of the mouse click. add an entry to the menu that calls a new function with (this.context, url, lineNo) in your new function: this.context.sourceCache.getLine(url, lineNo) gives the source line under the mouse. walk backwards until you get to your magic strings, do the math, Put the result in the clipboard, popup node, or whatever. Don't hesitate to ask for more info. We plan to add easier ways to extend Firebug in 1.5.
