Save Browser Console log

The Browser Console is a tool provided by Firefox to log errors, warnings and messages for all content tabs, for add-ons, and for the browser's own code.

The content of the Browser Console can provide important information about your problem. To get this information, open the Browser Console (Tools > Web Developer > Browser console) when you encounter the problem you want to report about, right click anywhere in the console and click select all. Copy everything and paste it to a text file.

If your problem happens when Firefox starts, open the Browser Console immediately after Firefox starts and copy/paste its content to a text file, then clear the content and open new window and copy/paste the Browser Console content to another file.
