When I execute any command, e.g. the very simple console.log("hazaa") I don't get the output in the console window. The same command on my other computers works well. It works on the regarded computer too when I execute it in Chrome. It's like if user-entered commands were disregarded.

So, apparently, something went bad with my FF. When JavaScript is executed by a site, it produces output to the console without problems, so the issue is limited to this particular computer, this particular browser and the input method by the user!

It's like if a setting "don't respect input from user typing in the console" was checked. :) Of course, I went through all the settings I could find, reinstalled FF (got the newest version - 26, I think, (re/un)installed FireBug, deactivated all other stuff, restarted the computer, preyed and cried - nothing helped...

What to do?! How to trouble-shoot it?!

  • Do you have other addons installed? If so, disable them. Otherwise, try this: getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/…

  • I've tested to deactivate everything but to no avail. At the moment, the only addin I use (besides FireBug) is the TabMix, which is a life saver. I fear that if I install the new profile, all my settings, bookmarks etc. will be gone. What do you think?

  • @fflorent In any case, however, when I use the new profile, the problem perishes, so it must be some stupid setting that some stupid addin did and refuses to take back upon deactivation. Thanks for the help and put your comment (and possibly an elaboration) as a reply so I can check it as the correct answer, please. And by the way - is there a way to remove addins? Or are we supposed to simply deactivate and, when things get to tough, install a new profile?!

  • Have you looked in about:config and sort by "status"? Every preferences set by you or by an addon would be listed together and be displayed in bold

  • Oh, that was cool. Totally confusing and waaay to scary for me to play with (I'm a super hero and my super power is to screw up stuff, haha). But still - cool. I could compare the two configs, of course. And how about deleting (not just deactivating) plugins?
