I don't know about firebug (there seems to be an extension) but Chrome (apparently) supports this. You could also try / resort to tools like Wireshark and/or Fiddler.

Key here is that socket.io is basically (usually) just websockets.

Firebug does not support inspection of WebSocket communication, but there is an enhancement request for this. Though as Firebug is obviously discontinued, you may rather have a look at the enhancement request for the Firefox DevTools.

There is also an extension called WebSocket monitor (written by the main contributor of Firebug), which adds a WebSocket inspection panel to the DevTools.
