Firebug Console tab changed?

[Robert D.]

Sorry, brand new to this forum ... been using FF w/ Firebug for 6 months and am using it to see errors in ColdFusion code that's hidden in CFC's. 

Worked for months when suddenly, one PC after another lost the feature. 

In the Console Tab I had "Errors" and I would see + POST, open it and saw HTML and saw the bugs.  

Now all I see is a row of Net  CSS JS, etc. 

Where did my Console go???

It's not totally clear to me what you mean but I assume you are talking about AJAX requests being logged to the Console panel. And I also assume that you were automatically switched to the Firefox DevTools, because Firebug does not have Net, CSS, and JS in it's Console panel and it doesn't work anymore once multi-process Firefox is enabled. See more about this in the related Mozilla Hacks post.

So, to see the AJAX requests you can either switch to the Network panel or click the little arrow besides the Net button an check XMLHttpRequests (XHR) from the popup menu. Within the DevTools Console you may even be able to see debug output logged to the console directly via the Server filter. For this to work, you need to add a script to your ColdFusion sources. I didn't try that out with ColdFusion myself yet, though.

For further information regarding the transition to the Firefox DevTools, see the migration guide on MDN.
