1050087 - concise object representations in the console

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1096289

(DevTools :: Console, defect)

Description

[Jeff Griffiths (:canuckistani) (:⚡︎)]

From uservoice:

"

I've been using Firefox's native dev tools exclusively for a bit now, forcing
myself to not cling to Firebug. While I'm quite impressed with the progress,
there are a few details that ultimately made me return to Firebug for now -
most significantly the representation of objects in the console.

As discussed on IRC, here's an example that showcases many of the differences:

Firebug: http://i.imgur.com/7VGTzh5.png

As you can see (even by the amount of screen estate occupied), Firebug's output
is a lot more concise and generally more visually distinctive. Of course
there's a trade-off there, but most of the devtools rendering seems like
uninformative noise at the moment.

I understand an improved representation of pseudo-arrays is already on the
agenda, so that will probably make a big difference already."

Bug 1096289 was filed later about the same issue, but since it has more context, I'll mark this one as duplicate.
