I was able to interact with hdb comfortably on Firefox here on Mageia Linux
Cauldron. I'm using firefox-24.0-5.mga4 (the so-called ESR Release I think),
and I whitelisted the localhost from NoScript, and I don't have AdBlock
installed. But everything I tried - step/run/step over ; setting a breakpoint,
inspecting a value/etc. just worked. One should note that Devel::hdb uses
jQuery, Twitter Bootstrap, and other tried and tested portable technologies,
which should better ensure its portability. 

I wonder why it doesn't work for you in Firefox. Can you try in a new
Firefox profile? See:
