Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:81.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/81.0

Steps to reproduce:

Clean firefox start without extensions activated. Open developer console with F12 (page was localhost) - working correctly. Separate this tab via mouse drag to a new window while the dev console is open (dev console closes as always). Reopen dev console with F12.

Actual results:

When reopend, the console shows no logging and warnings (e.g. console.log). Changing the filtering of the console does not help.

Expected results:

The console should work correctly.

Small addition: This behaviour does not happen when separating a tab with closed developer tools / developer console.

Component: Untriaged → Console
OS: Unspecified → Windows 10
Product: Firefox → DevTools
Hardware: Unspecified → x86_64

I can confirm this behavior for Firefox 81.0 on Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon.

The console is completely empty after tab separation and console.log doesn't lead to any log output.
Only function return values (undefined for console.log) are printed. Also any other expression results are shown, e.g. window.innerHeight, Math.ceil(1.5), ...

I can also confirm this on Firefox 81.0.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.0 Dev Beta 9.

Hello there, thanks for the report.

The issue is fixed in 82 (which is Beta/DevEdition, and in ~1 week will be Release) by Bug 1661569.
Hence I'm setting this as a duplicate, but feel free to re-open it if I'm missing something!
