Script editing in Firebug

Question

How do I edit the script using firebug?

I retagged your question assuming that you meant javascript. — Anthony Accioly, May 04 '11 at 16:38
@Orbling: Since Firebug can be used to manipulate/"edit" the DOM, it's a fair question. — Lightness Races in Orbit, May 04 '11 at 16:42
Actually you CAN change the script at runtime, use the Firebug console as shown here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3203779/how-to-edit-javascript-in-firebug-in-mozilla — demoncodemonkey, Oct 07 '13 at 09:58

You can't, though you can execute arbitrary statements in the console, and modify the value of variables from the Watch pane.

You can edit HTML, debug javascript, watch and edit the variables, but you can't edit the script.
