Because the JavaScript console can be used to see which sites have been visited,
it would be nice if it could be cleared from the Options --> Privacy screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Select "Options..." from the "Tools" menu.
2.  Select "Privacy".
3.  Click the "Clear All" button and then click the "OK" button.
4.  Select "JavaScript Console" from the "Tools" menu.
Actual Results:  
Any sites you've visited that contained JavaScript errors are shown.

Expected Results:  
Clear the JavaScript console.

It's right above the 'Cancel' button. [outside the frame]

You're still using 1.0.x, the prefwindow was redesigned.

This is pretty obscure, closing your browser nukes it, and leaving the browser
open yet being concerned with privacy seems a little inconsistent...

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

you should ask an extensionwriter to include this "feature" in an extension.
There are a few that made a panic button to clear all.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
