    Hey Guys,

    I've never really dealt with console before that is a feature of Firefox. Does anyone know what type of coding it uses? Jquery?

    The console just allows you to execute Javascript expressions. For example, typing "alert('test');" will bring up a pop-up window saying "test". jQuery is a Javascript library, so if the page you're on loads jQuery, you'll be able to use it in the console. Some other browsers (like Chrome) also have a Javascript console feature. Really useful for web development!

    If you want to output something directly to the console within one of your scripts, you can use "console.log();"

    Here's a little bit more info on that - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console.log
