That worked beautifully, I wanted to set a break point
on the first line of my code that executed after it loaded,
so I ran:

   firefox -chrome chrome://venkman/content

and then executed "window.open()" as you suggested.
My code loaded and I set a future breakpoint on the
first statement in the file. I then checked
"Save Break/Watch Settings On Exit" in
the file menu and then exited firefox.

I then ran a second time with the same command:

   firefox -chrome chrome://venkman/content

Then did "window.open()" a second time and we dropped
back into the debugger at my break point at the top of
the file. This was exactly what I wanted.

This is exactly what I wanted, hopefully this helps
someone else in the future.

THANKS Alex!
