I've tried the described scenario, by running the two commands in the console, and I can see 'hey' being logged:
function logthing() {console.log('hey'); }
undefined
logthing()
undefined
"hey"

I tried this on Firefox 30 Beta 3 (BuildID: 20140508142553) and Firefox 30 RC (BuildID: 20140603140158), on Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu 13.04 x64.

Luke, are you still seeing this issue?

Yes, even with addons-disabled mode, Firefox 30 for Ubuntu.

I can't reproduce it either.

I tried the STR with firefox nightly of today and in firefox 31 from beta channel (ubuntu 14.04): both work correctly. Can we close this bug or anyone wants to do any further investigation?

Since it's been now 3 separate people not able to reproduce the problem, I'll mark it as Resolved Worksforme, since it looks like there's nothing more we can do. If anyone can confirm it, then feel free to reopen it.

I can reproduce this problem with Firefox 32.0 (launched in safe mode or normal mode). In a more general way, I could never log anything to the dev console (from a script or from the console itself). Thus, I have to use Firebug.

It would be helpful if you could provide a screen capture of this behavior in action. Do you get any output at all in the web console? In the Browser Console? Which site are you on when you see this?

Attachment: Screen capture of this behaviour

Comment 9

[Lucas Verney [:Phyks]]

I added a screen capture, taken in Firefox nightly on the about:home page in attachment of this bug.

I just tried to delete my ~/.mozilla folder, to start with a brand new profile. The console is working fine, so it's a profile-related bug. I could try to trace the problem with my profile.
