Hi, Thanks for taking the time to report this issue, from what I understand from this defect is that Firefox will not open the Console in a Virtual Machine using CentOS, unfortunately we do not have the possibility to Install the CentOS on our infrastructure but I will set the component to DevTools Console as it seems it might be a good place to start.

Hello,

It's not clear to me what is happening here.
When you say the "console does not appear", which console are you talking about ?
Could you post screenshot of the console appearing in 62 ?

Thanks!

An apology, I will explain as clearly as possible:

* Google cloud offers a service in which you can "rent" computers with a certain operating system, it's like azure, or amazon web services, these are called "vm instances", you can use it per hour and only charge what you use

* If this is the first time you use the service, they "give you" a little money to try the service, there is also a version of "vm" (virtual machine) in which you do not charge the first 720 hours of the month

The steps to follow are:

1. Enter the Google Cloud platform (from where you manage all services)
 
2. You create an "instance" (virtual machine)

3. I imagine that the characteristics of the virtual machine in this case are irrelevant

4. An "instance" is created

* Google unlike other services allows you to make ssh connection from the browser, you do not have to add your public keys and enter from the terminal of your computer, it does open a kind of popup window in the browser, has the same functions as a basic terminal, to enter this virtual terminal we must:

5. you look for the name of the instance that we created, and to the right of it and below the "Connect" option there is a button that says ssh

6. This will open a kind of pop-up window, which in firefox 63 works correctly (attached screenshot where the "correct" operation is shown)

7. While Firefox developer edition with compilation id number "20181025233934", you can not see the terminal, basically the black screen remains

8. Attached screenshots, in the following link:

If I was not clear I ask for an apology, and please tell me to make a video as soon as I have time

Note: The web terminal only works in linux versions (ubuntu, centos etc)

Thanks for the explanation. 
This looks more like a web compatibility issue, and it would be really nice if you could file a bug with https://webcompat.com/ .

I'm closing this bug here since it's not a DevTools issue.
