How does one remove the duplicate console window from Firefox's built-in Firebug?


I'm currently using Firefox 53.0 (64-bit), which comes with its own implementation of FireBug. Somehow I've ended up in a situation where a second, lower console pane displays under my main FireBug panel. (See the yellow area in the attached pic.) For my screen height, this takes up valuable vertical space that I don't have to spare. Is there a way to close the lower console pane? Thanks.

Solution

  • You can close the split console by clicking the related toggle button Split console toggle button or by pressing Esc while the Firefox Developer Tools (so their official name) are focused.

    Note: The reason why those tools look somewhat like Firebug is that they have a Firebug theme integrated. There's more information about this integration in the Mozilla hacks blog.
