• Fireclipse positions an Eclipse editor on the source line reported by Firefox.
• Calls to dump() end up on the Eclipse console
• Fireclipse adds an Eclipse panel to Firebug
• Extensions to Firebug include:
• debug eval() code.
• debug event handlers
• route error messages to eclipse
• executable line numbers marked
• Screenshots

Fireclipse consists of a Firefox Extension that overlays Firebug and an Eclipse Plugin.
