The global scope is already shown at the bottom of the Watch panel.

The global variables for other frames are already available via
  1) window.parent expansion in the Watch panel as above.
  2) |window.parent| expression in the Watch panel as above.
  2) Command line with cd/dir
  3) DOM panel via window.frames

I guess you are running Firebug 1.6.0 on Firefox 3.6. Update to 1.6.1
and if you still have a problem report it to our bug tracker.
