This may fall into the category of "so obvious I'm the only one who didn't get it", but I just had to share it. I'm preparing a blog post where I've got an intentional error in my JavaScript code. I noticed that it wasn't showing up in the Firefox console though. I added a console.log message before the error - and it showed up - but my error never did.
Check out the screen shot below:
Notice that CSS warnings are showing up - which is cool - and "1" is my console.log message. But my JavaScript error isn't there. I clicked the console drop down to see what options were there:
Yep - logging of errors is enabled. So what the heck? Turns out I had to also check the options on the JavaScript tab:
Ugh. I can't imagine why Errors would be turned off, but maybe it's a sensible default for some reason. That complaint aside - I have to say I really like the look of the console.

Check out the 3D View and Responsive Design Mode accessible from the top right menu icons.
All very impressive!!
I've seen both. I like the responsive design mode. The 3D View seems... cool but impractical. But I haven't actually used it for 'real' yet so I may be wrong.
As just an FYI, with a virgin install of FF on a Win8 VM, this defaulted to on. But I figure this blog post will be helpful for folks who - like me - somehow got it disabled it in the past.
@Raymond:
The 3D view comes in really handy when you're trying to troubleshoot z-index issues. That's about the only practical use I've found for it, but it really shines there.
