console.* Failing - Firefox 14.0.1, Firebug >1.9.2

[Lucanos]

I am unable to get any of the console.* functions ( ie console.log(...) ) to work at all within Firefox v14.0.1 when using any version of Firebug greater than v1.9.2

I have disabled all other extensions and retested - same results.
I have even tried using Firebug v1.11.0a1 - same results.

Did you try a new Firefox profile?

Also note that Firebug doesn't overwrite an existing console object, i.e. if the JavaScript inside your page defines e.g. var console = 1;, then the console API won't be available.

Yes, I got it, sorry it's still in my TODO queue... :-)

What did you send Honza? If it's a test case showing that the console.* functions are not working, you may want to post it publicly, so others can also reproduce it.

Sorry it is nothing special, just a small TO-DO list for Honza. I know your busy, and appreciate your time, I eagerly await your findings and I am hopeful this is achieveable via Firebug or script etc.

 

Let me saySebastian, Firebug rocks doesnt it.

 

Honaza, truely optimistic here bud...I will be here when you reach back to me.

 

cheers

Hi Honza,

Creating a new Profile does resolve the problem.
Of course, it replaces the "My Firebug doesn't work" problem with the "I have to reconfigure Firefox all over again" problem, which seems even larger.

It would be nice to actually know the cause of the problem, rather than applying this rather drastic fix.

Of course.
But the testing I did would have revealed that - same page, same javascript console commands, v1.10 fails to show anything, v1.9.2 shows the messages.
If the variable was being overwritten by the page, all versions would have experienced the problem.

You can try to compare the two profiles and check out the differences.
E.g. the prefs.js (all preference settings) diff could be interesting.

You can also try to disable extension step by step and see if there
are any collisions...
