Dev console log entries are hidden in Firefox

I have a library of various functions that I use for my websites. I include the base/core library in the <head> of my document, then I load more scripts that extend the core in other part of the doc (usually at the end). My library has a log function that calls console.log(). It logs various information such as when the library has started and ended logging, when another script is loaded, when an error is caught, etc.

I can NOT post my script - it is internal to the company I work for

The scripts execute successfully, but my log entries aren't being displayed in my developer console in Firefox version 29.0.1 for Mac OS X 10.9.1. Sometimes it displays all entries, sometimes only a couple, usually NONE.

The only thing I get are some JS warnings.

16:02:49.712 Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated.  Use defaultPrevented instead. jquery.min.js:3
16:02:49.807 Use of getUserData() or setUserData() is deprecated.  Use WeakMap or element.dataset instead. requestNotifier.js:64

enter image description here

Here's when it actually logs properly, but there should be about 15 log entries BEFORE all of the ones after the warnings. (note I enabled persistent log for this screenshot)

Below is what is logged in Chrome 35. Only a couple of lines from the screenshot are SOMETIMES logged in Firefox. Bizarre.

I've checked all of the dropdown options and all JS and Logging options are enabled (plus Security and some Net ones).

I can call console.log() from the console itself (after all scripts have loaded and run) and it logs as expected.

I have increased my console log limit from 200 to 500 and tested.

When I run the same script(s) in Chrome, they display fine as expected. All log entries are there. The same goes for Firebug, a Firefox extension that gives me an alternative developer console.

Does Firefox do some funky caching or grouping in the dev console?

try by disabling one by one your firefox add-ons. You can do quick testing for console.log from getfirebug.com/tests/head/console/api/log.html. One or more of your add-ons is causing the conflict.

I had faced the same issue from Nimbus Screen Capture Add-on, which should be irrelevant to console stuff whatsoever.
