Firefox own developer tools won't log ajax calls in console. Firebug does. This and the fact that you need to open the settings tab to enable preserve log are my problems with Firefox tools keeping me on firebug.

I agree, that's the single feature that's always kept me loyal to Firebug. There's a bug open on that at: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=972655 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=972655 I'm attempting to find time to assist with it, but haven't thus far. Perhaps throwing it out here will bring in additional assistance

Personally I've switched back to dev tools in the developer edition, mostly because the ability to see which elements have events attached from the markup view is very useful.

Hmm. What's the use case for ajax calls in the console instead of just switching to the network tab? Convenience?
- illumen 12y ago
  Yeah. Why make people switch? Almost every app does ajax calls, so it's very useful to have that information there for almost every developer.
- kyriakos 12y ago
  yes convenience, saves time switching back and forth. chrome didn't have this feature either but they recently added it (even though not as good as firebug's since when you click on the entry in the console it takes you to the network panel and hightlights the entry rather than opening it up automatically)

AFAIK, the built-in developer tools in FFox > v33 log ajax calls now.
findjashua 12y ago
what version are you on? I'm on 34.0, and they show up in the network tab.
- fletchowns 12y ago
  Network tab isn't the console though
__david__ 12y ago
Firefox dev tools most certainly do log ajax calls to the console. I just tested it in 34.0.5…
- kyriakos 12y ago
  I am on v35 and it doesn't. It allows you to log all network events which fills up the console.
  - __david__ 12y ago
    Hit the little arrow next to it. You can select Errors, Warnings, and Log. Log makes xhr network requests show up in the console (just like the network tab). I don't know what you mean by "fills up the console".

  I'm aware of that but it logs everything without a way to filter (unlike the network tab)
