Hi all, Since https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833939 recently landed on central, I'd like to inform you all of its implications:
* Debug builds no longer write the logs to a file called `console.log` in the users' AppData directory (for example `~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/console.log` on OSX. These files were reported to grow very large unnoticed (400MB+) and this change will prevent that from happening in the future. * Old log files are not removed by this patch. Please perform the necessary cleanup yourself by removing the `console.log` file from the AppData directory. * If you depend on this feature to work - to analyze issues during program startup, for example - you can set the `XRE_CONSOLE_LOG` environment variable to a valid path on your system or use the NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS_LOG / NS_ENSURE_TRUE_LOG macros from C++ directly. For more information, please read the bug mentioned above or ping me on IRC: mikedeboer. Mike.
