I know it's developer's decision to remove java console menu in firefox, see
#191299. many applet developers , JavaScript developers and end users request
this menu, however.  

Instead of having a permanent java console menu in firefox, we can add it for
only those who really need it. unlike mozilla does, we suggests Firefox does in
the way:  when it starts up, it checks if java plugins is installed, if not,
there is no Java console menu ; if found, there should be java console menu.

Java console menu is important to both java and javascript. In javascript, the
below code is usual ,
java.lang.System.out.println("some thing");

if java console menu is removed unconditionally, the above code will not make
sense. 

I have a tiny code hooked into browser.js to add java console menu dynamically.
it's so lightweight and does not impact firefox.

Reproducible: Always
