ignore firebug console when not installed

Question

I use Firebug\'s console.log() for debugging my website. If I try viewing my website in browsers without Firebug then I get a console is not defined er

Answer 1

The linked solution is basically a variant(with a few extra functions) of this:

EDIT The below code doesn't actually work when firefox is present. That'll teach for posting code without checking just to show off my not so 1337 operator || skillz:

window.console = window.console || {};
console.log = function(){};

The reason for that is that firefox console is actually a getter only property off window. Hence we can't set it. Instead, something like this needs to be used:

if (!window.console) {
  window.console = {};
  window.console.log = function(){};
}

Also, console.log (and console.warn, console.error) will work on Webkit browsers, including mobile Safari, pretty cool, huh?
