Can Firebug set breakpoints in external JavaScript files?

Question

Is there any way in Firebug to set a breakpoint in an external .js file that a page links to so that it can be stepped through?

(I suspect I've found a bug in jQuery and I want to be able to step through jQuery as it's handling events to see what it's doing.)

Not sure if I understand the question, but I don't think Firebug treats external javascript any differently than internal one. Just go to the "script" tab, select the .js file in the drop down list and set your breakpoint.
