There are probably several books with that title.  If you are recommending a 
book, be precise about it, so that your recommendation can be reviewed.

In general, be precise about everything that you post so as not to waste 
your readers' (and potentially helpers') free time.

RTFM: <http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page> ("Documentation").

You can

  a) point at the property name while debugging
  b) add a Watch expression
  c) inspect the global `document' property value's properties
  d) type `document.cookie' or `console.log(document.cookie)' followed
     by the Enter/Return key in the command line in Firebug's "Console" tab
  e) Use console.log() in your code.

And probably I forgot to mention something.

Since the value is domain-specific, you can do (d) at any time, provided the 
script does not redirect to another domain.
