Is there a way to make firebug (or any other browser, or using any other tool) stop any dom manipulation from happening? Sometimes layout debugging a screen filled with on hover events is impossible, as the elements may disappear, and you can't see their compound layout.
A:
Actually this is quite easy to do for pages that are not constantly and autonomously being altered (even comet applications can be relatively stable for a few seconds): just save the page using firefox. It will save the current state of it all, ignoring all javascript and events. More than that, the styles will be easily viewable.
