Firefox Inspector - Ignore version string when debugging JavaScript

When using Firefox inspector to debug JavaScript, if the version string of the file (eg `<somefile>.js?v=12345`) changes by the server, Firefox Inspector assumes that it is a new source file and thus clears any breakpoints for the file on reload.

Is there a way to disable this such that the Inspector assumes it is the same file?

There are cases where the server actively changes the version on the fly and thus makes debugging very tricky.
