How do I disable firefox console from grouping duplicate output?
To solve this for any browser, you could use this workaround: Override the console.log
command in window
to make every subsequent line distinct from the previous line.
This includes toggling between prepending an invisible zero-width whitespace, prepending a timestamp, prepending a linenumber. See below for a few examples:
(function()
{
var prefixconsole = function(key, fnc)
{
var c = window.console[key], i = 0;
window.console[key] = function(str){c.call(window.console, fnc(i++) + str);};
};
// zero padding for linenumber
var pad = function(s, n, c){s=s+'';while(s.length<n){s=c+s;}return s;};
// just choose any of these, or make your own:
var whitespace = function(i){return i%2 ? '\u200B' : ''};
var linenumber = function(i){return pad(i, 6, '0') + ' ';};
var timestamp = function(){return new Date().toISOString() + ' ';};
// apply custom console (maybe also add warn, error, info)
prefixconsole('log', whitespace); // or linenumber, timestamp, etc
})();
Be careful when you copy a log message with a zero-width whitespace.
As a workaround you can append a Math.random() to the log string. That should make all your output messages unique, which would cause them all to be printed. For example:
console.log(yourvariable+" "+Math.random());

Seems like the below option doesn't work as expected. feel free to report it as a bug
Update [2020-01-28]
Firefox team added option to group similar messages, which is enabled by default.
You can access to this option via Console settings
- Open up Firefox's dev tools
- Select
Console
tab - Click on gear button (placed at the right of the toolbar)
- Change the option as you wish

As I mentioned in comment section, There is no way to achieve this at the moment. maybe you should try to request this feature via Bugzilla@Mozilla
Also you can check Gaps between Firebug and the Firefox DevTools
There is a settings menu () at the right of the Web Console's toolbar now which contains ✓ Group Similar Messages:
