Javascript best practice: handling Firebug-specific code

Question

Firebug is certainly a wonderful tool for javascript debugging; I use console.log() extensively.

I wanted to know if I can leave the Firebug-specific code in production.

Answer 1

I use this in OOP Javascript, making my own wrapper for log that checks that firebug exists:

myclass.prototype.log = function()
{ 
    if( typeof window.console != 'undefined' )
    {
        console.log.apply( null, arguments ); 
    }
}

Just call:

this.log( arg1, arg2, ...)
