Cannot read JavaScript errors in Firebug console before page reloads

Question

I'm debugging some JavaScript and I have a submit button that should run a jquery function to run a script via Ajax. When I click the button, an error is displayed in the Firebug console but I don't have time to read it before the form is submitted and thus the page is reloaded.

Answer 1

In version 1.8.3 (at least) you can click the "Persist" button to keep console information around after reload.

Answer 2

Use the Persist button to not clear the console
