What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Start webpage which outputs a lot of console messages of different types (log,warn,error). 2. Try to find all error messages in the list, which requires scrolling throught the complete list.

What is the expected result? What do you see instead? I'd like a filtering mechanism by type, so I can see only error messages (or warn or ...). E.g. the development console in Chrome Developers Tools has a row of buttons (All,Errors,Warnings,Logs) which works quite well.

Which version of Firebug? (more specific than 'latest' please): 1.5.0 Which version of Firefox? 3.5.8 On what operating system? Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic)

Open the Console mini menu and set the option you wish.

There are no options for what I want. Maybe my explanation wasn't clear:

in JS, I use:

console.error('some message'); console.warn('some message'); console.info('some message'); console.debug('some message');

I want to be able to filter the console, to only show the output from console.error calls, or from console.warn calls. In the case of the error messages, I'd also like to see the javascript errors (if enabled in the menu). Same for warn.

I created a test case for this. What Hendrik is meaning is a filtering options like in the net panel. Changing the options via the mini menu completely turns of tracing the specific types of messages. A filter like in the net panel would just hide other messages than the specified one, but not stop tracing them.

I'd like to have all of the console options on the toolbar as net panel does.

Note, that my test case is just covering messages, but of course there should also be filtering options for profiling entries and XHRs and also other types of console entries like tables created through the new console.table().

Implemented in r7292. Against my comment 6 I decided to just show message type filters for the moment not to flood the Panel Toolbar. Though this can (and should) be enhanced in the future by implementing a better UI + the ability to toggle several message types (which I already prepared). Probably this could be done by using a menu like the Panel Selector.

Changed the filtering in r7293 to be able to combine it with the search feature and to make it even a bit faster.
