Clear the console in Firefox

Is there a way to clear the console in Firefox?

In Chrome I can use...

console.clear()

(Not sure if it works for Safari or Opera though)

However I haven't been able to find a solution for Firefox. Is this type of API not yet available? Is there a workaround that doesn't require?

console.log("\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n");

In more recent versions of Firefox, you can use console.clear() or built-in helper function clear() to clear console screen
and clearHistory() to entirely clear console's command history.

Perhaps you also want to clear via GUI of the browser.

  1. Open the inspect element / Ctrl+shift+i
  2. click console menu
  3. click the trash bin logo

Here is the screenshot:

Keep it simple. Better press Ctrl +Shift + L to clear the output in Firefox 44+. Whereas in previous versions press Ctrl + L.

In Mac, for Chrome (105.0.5195.102) and firefox(v103.0.2) Ctrl + L still works.

You can also use the following shortcut depending on your OS

Windows & Linux: Ctrl + Shift + L

Mac: Ctrl + L or Cmd + K for Firefox 67 or newer.

For anyone who comes to this question, console.clear() works in Firefox since version 48.0.

I've been looking for future implementations of firefox, but still they don't want to implement it. So basically you can't in webconsole, but you can in firebug.

See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console

In firefox you can just input clear(). It well be done.

Here's a link to the Developer's website for Javascript console commands: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh696634.aspx
