Firebug won't display console feeds for some of my sites

Using Firebug v1.20b7 with Firefox v3.0.1 I use firebug a lot for web devlopment.

I have very often the problem that Firebug won't show its web console for seeing the POSTs and GETs. I can view all the other tabs, including the NET tab that gives me a lot of the same information that the CONSOLE tab does.

Curious if anyone else has had this problem, and maybe a solution, or maybe this is a bug of Firebug.

How do I access the console on my website?

Chrome. Step 1: To open the console in Chrome, use this keyboard shortcut: "Cmd + Option + J" (on a Mac) or "Ctrl +Shift +J" (on Windows). As an alternative, you can right-click on the webpage and click "Inspect" to open the developer console.

Why is my console log undefined?

This is because console. log() does not return a value (i.e. returns undefined). The result of whatever you entered to the console is first printed to the console, then a bit later the message from console. log reaches the console and is printed as well.

How do I enable console debugging in Chrome?

Click the Console tab. Press Control + [ or Command + [ (Mac) until the Console is in focus. Open the Command Menu, start typing Console , select the Show Console Panel command, and then press Enter .

There is a limitation in firebug (or rather, in firefox iteself), which will be fixed in one of the newer Firefox releases.

The bug is caused by the fact that firebug needs to send data a second time to monitor what's going on in the connection.

There's now a special API hook in the firefox trunk that should prevent this workaround in the future, so that firebug can really spy on what's going on :)
