Sebastian, the link Alfonso supplied doesn't refer to the Firefox dev
tools, it involves the Chrome dev tools. And it seems a little closer to
what I'm talking about than your link does, although I'm not sure... I
think they expect you to do the editing in their dev environment, not in
your own text editor as I prefer.  I only looked briefly at the Moz page
you linked to, but from the introduction, it seems to refer only to finding
the original JavaScript sources of compiled JavaScripts.

I'm interested in mapping the current browser-rendered page to its main
HTML server page, and then opening that HTML in my text editor, nothing
more. Nothing fancy.

This is so important to me (the way I work) that if a newer version of
Firefox breaks the extension I'm using, I'll stop upgrading Firefox and
stick with the old version. If Firefox could be scripted with AppleScript,
I might be able to figure out a way to do the mapping there... but AFAIK
Mac Firefox isn't AppleScript-able.

I like the Firefox/Firebug devel interface better than Chrome's (I guess
I'm just more used to it), but Chrome is much more successful at rendering
a wide range of pages for ordinary browsing... so I could see a situation
where I end up *developing* in an old version of Firefox, but doing routine
*browsing* in a current version of Chrome. Which sounds a little awkward.
That's what I'm hoping to avoid.
