This would come in handy, as the JS Console is about to be used for non-JS warnings/errors as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Maybe a dupe of bug 302211

Bug 302211 is a request to add filtering UI or a pref. This bug is just about a back-end patch, providing a standard method for extension authors (such as myself) to add the UI.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 275265 ***

No duplicate of bug 275265, either, since that bug is also about UI, while this one is about a simple back-end change (see the attached patch).

What are the chances of seeing either this one or one of the two dupe candidates (bug 302211 and bug 275265) fixed in time for Firefox 1.5? This would considerably speed up the console's loading time when Console Filter is installed (cf. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=1734462#1734462 ). In general, the attached patch would allow for a much cleaner way of filtering the console without having to dive into XBL idiosyncracies, allowing to use either CSS or JS for filtering - making it thus more straightforward for extensions to provide any of the functionality of the mentioned bugs.

We're too far into this release to be considering feature additions like this. You should work on getting this landed on the trunk for the next major release after 1.5.

mozilla/toolkit/components/console/content/consoleBindings.xml 1.10

Since bug 312962 seems to be going nowhere, this one-line patch would at least make it considerably easier for extension authors to work around the console's current limitations.

Not going to block on this, but will take the patch?
