I used firefox up until I ran into a nasty Javascript bug which caused Firebug to conk out, never hitting the breakpoint. I switched to Chrome and the breakpoint was hit every time. I got the overall impression that Firefox's debugging tools weren't as good as Chrome's. Has this changed at all?

Firefox now has a built-in debugger (which appeared in Firefox 15, released in August 2012). This uses a new debugging back-end built by Mozilla's JS and devtools teams, totally separate from the older Firebug debugger code. It should be more robust, and has new features like remote debugging of code running in Firefox for Android.
