This may fall into the category of "so obvious I'm the only one who didn't get it", but I just had to share it. I'm preparing a blog post where I've got an intentional error in my JavaScript code. I noticed that it wasn't showing up in the Firefox console though. I added a console.log message before the error - and it showed up - but my error never did.

Ugh. I can't imagine why Errors would be turned off, but maybe it's a sensible default for some reason. That complaint aside - I have to say I really like the look of the console.
