Firebug console: not showing console.log
I am trying to test something, and for one reason or another, while working in the Firebug console, I am unable to create an array of script tags on the HTML page using the getElementByTagName('script') method. I realize there is probably something stupid I am overlooking.
This is the dummy HTML page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Random Crapolla Page</title>
<h1>Random Crapolla Page</h1>
</head>
<body>
<div id="whyNot">
<p id="p1">
<a href="http://google.com">Here is link one</a><br />
<a href="http://google.com">Oh poop here's another</a><br />
<a href="http://google.com">And a 3rd for good measure</a><br />
</p>
<a id="p2">
Latin. Latin. Latin...<br />

<!-- Script tag testing-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="itDoesntExist.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dummyJSnumeroDos.js"></script>
</body>
And this is what I'm typing into the Firebug console:
var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
console.log(scripts);
All selected in Console
Answer
Firebug is officially discontinued now and the console output is broken in Firefox 51.0.1 due to a change in the Firefox internal APIs Firebug uses to access the related data. For reference, this is the error:
TypeError: ConsoleAPIListener is not a constructor console.js:149:38
Firebug users are advised to switch over to the Firefox DevTools instead. There, the console output works as expected.
