"console not defined" error w/ Firebug update

[Rob]

My Firebug just updated itself (to 1.2) and now I'm getting the error:

console is not defined
[Break on this error] console.log("validateUserId() is called");


When this happens, it seems to stop running the ECMAscript.

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.16

For FF2, issue
window.loadFirebugConsole()
in you JS before you use the console.

Thanks. ^_^ That fixes it.

That does not fix it on Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Linux, and due to the
environment where I work upgrading the browser is NOT an option. Is
there anything else to try?

It does *not* fix the problem for me. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.16 on
Windows 2000. Firebug is now almost useless because it keeps giving me
a "console is not defined" error every time it encounters a
console.log in the code. How do I downgrade back to Firebug 1.0 or
whatever the version was called that I was using before?

I upgraded to Firebug 2 as part of my preparations for eventually
upgrading Firefox to version 3. They should have warned people that
Firebug 1.2 should only be installed *after* you upgrade Firefox to
version 3.

Thanks,
Jonas
