Firebug: console.trace gives no output

I can't make Firebug's console.trace() give any output. Am I using it wrongly? I'm using Firefox 41.0.1 and Firebug 2.0.12 on Ubuntu 14.04. It works fine in Firefox 41.0.1 on Windows 7.

I've uploaded a test file to neocities so you can try it out. This is the content of the test file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <script type="text/javascript">

        function myFun1 (p1) {
            var res = myFun2("there");
            return res;
        }

        function myFun2 (p2) {
            console.trace();
            return "hi there"
        }

        console.log("start");
        var res = myFun1("hi");
        console.log("res: ", res);
        console.log("end");

    </script>
</body>
</html>
