Can we monitor a form's POST method in Firebug or TCP dump?

I just have doubt can we monitor form's post method in Firebug or TCP dump?

If yes so how can we made post method of an HTML form secure? As we can observe post or get method of jQuery in Firebug as well.

yes, you can do it in the Net panel, by clicking on the request, and observing it's contents. See image below:

enter image description here

This is using Mozilla Firefox 15.0.1

Yes, you could use firebug to monitor the form's post data, but you could only see the data you posted (which is quite obvious), so there is no secure problem.

For tcp dump, yes, someone could use it to monitor the post data, so this is why the website need to use Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) to protect the data.
