User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_1) AppleWebKit/537.73.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0.1 Safari/537.73.11

Steps to reproduce:

In console
   console.log("Mozilla \n Firefox");



Actual results:

Displays "Mozilla \n Firefox"


Expected results:

It should display

Mozilla 
Firefox

in separate lines

P.S - This is the output shown in Chrome 31.0. Also, Hacks blog uses the new line character for ASCII art, which displays correctly in Chrome but not in FF
Works fine on Windows. Have you tried \r\n ?
No even \r\n doesn't seem to be working. I checked on Safari 7.0.1 and the behaviour is consistent with Chrome.
