Nasty Firebug's console.log() issue with NoScript 2.1.0.1

[danielnashnz]

At the risk of talking to myself, its still an issue in 2.1.1

[anup]

I am finding this problem too - in fact, not just console.log, but nothing typed into the Firebug command line will output - even if you type in "window" for example, instead of getting a clickable window DOM object, you just get the window string output.

This happens with Firebug 1.7.3 or Firebug 1.8 betas (any)

The only things I've noticed that have major changes is
1) Firefox 5 upgrade
2) New ver of NoScript (2.1.1.1)

The other odd thing: yesterday I had no issues using Firebug 1.8 beta 4 with NoScript on FFx. Having tried an older beta (for another issue) and then put back Firebug 1.8 beta 4, now that also doesn't work with NoScript enabled. I have to disable NoScript now to get the Firebug console to output anything from the command line or when inserting console.log etc in JS code.

I don't really want to start a new profile as the one I am using has a lot of valuable things in it. Is there a proper way to fully uninstall NoScript because uninstalling it and reinstalling it still seems to cause problems (I can no longer get Firebug 1.8 beta 4 to work like it was working yesterday). Maybe there are additional files to clean up after uninstalling it?

Got a bit more info if it helps:

In the Firefox 5 Web Console (Ctrl-shift K) I see the following message:

[12:07:10.265] The Web Console logging API (console.log, console.info, console.warn, console.error) has been disabled by a script on this page.

This happens with NoScript enabled (even when Allow Global Scripts is set to true)

In about:config, I set noscript.consoleLog and consoleDump to true and 1 respectively and restart Firefox and still no luck... [update 1: realized consoleLog/DUmp are to log/dump NoScript output - though I don't even see those]

[update 2: created brand new FFx 5 profile. Installed firebug 1.7.3 then NoScript. Still cannot write anything from command line (e.g. window) to the console). Then installed latest Firebug 1.8 beta 4 and same problem. Disabled NoScript and it worked.]

Could you check latest development build 2.1.1.2rc9?

Could you check latest development build 2.1.1.2rc9?

Many thanks for the reply. I didn't see rc9 but saw 2.1.2rc1 and that seemed to have worked from my initial testing so far. Many thanks for that.

I can still reproduce the old problem, the error console output i see this in the error console when running a command that fails:

Code: Select all

Error: Firefox is not defined
Source File: resource://firebug_rjs/commandLine.js
Line: 426

Can't see any noscript errors while firefox is starting. Disabling noscript is only way to have an output from the firebug console.

Which Firebug version is compatible with Firefox Nightly, exactly?

Hi, if it helps, when I said it worked, I was using Firebug 1.7.3 against Firefox 5 (not nightly)

I just tried it on Firebug 1.8 beta 4 (latest as of writing) against Firefox 5 and that combination did not work either.

This is what I did:
1) In NoScript, I allow localhost
2) I load a page from localhost (firebug closed/not active)
3) I open firebug and in the firebug command line I type in "window" and press return
4) I see the window object appear in firebug console output
5) I reload the page leaving firebug active
6) Repeat step 3 and you get 4.

All good.

Now, I install Firebug 1.8 beta 4 and repeat the above steps.
For step 4, instead of seeing the window object appear in the firebug console output I just see the string "window" echoed but not window object. Same after step 5 and 6.

Hope that helps.

@anup: did you already tried without NoScript? Do the Firebug guys have anything to say about this (which looks like a separate issue)?

Hi,

I've tried both versions of Firebug with and without NoScript, and also with NoScript installed and enabled/disabled from the Firefox Addons page.

In terms of what the Firebug guys say, I've been commenting on this thread:
http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=4333

(My last comment there was about it working but in my haste forgot to state it was 1.7.3 of Firebug for which the problem seems to have gone away. Maybe you can add more info there if needed?)

Hope that helps.

Just a quick follow-up: This looks to be resolved for me with latest releases:
MacOS X 10.6.8, Firefox 5.0, Firebug 1.7.3, NoScript 2.1.1.2
hoorah!

console.log() doesn't work, with Firefox Aurora 13.0a2 (2012-03-28), FireBug 1.9.1 and NoScript 2.3.5.
