User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. I went to https://duckduckgo.com

Notice you are unable to set breakpoints on any of the lines:

Expected results:

You should be able to set breakpoints on all valid lines.

Refreshing the page at this point will fix the problem, as evident in this screenshot:

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks so much for filing.

This is a side-effect of the fact that we can not show breakpoints for scripts that have been Garbage Collected.

One workaround is to refresh and you will see breakpoints.

We are looking for a fix here bug 1532844
