Tool to identify which external javascript references are actually being used on a page

Question

I'm working on a website that currently has the same block of external JavaScript references on each page (added via a master page). I'd like to go through the site and identify which script files are actually necessary for each specific page to improve performance. Problem is there are a lot of pages and I'm not sure how to do it without resorting to manual trial and error process.

Is there a Firefox plug-in or some other tool that will identify which JavaScript references could actually be called by the page and which are not necessary?

you can use firebug plus his plugin for javascript code coverage: http://getfirebug.com/extensions/index.html#firebugcodecoverage
