Note: This issue was originally reported to occur in Firefox. However, it has been determined that Google Chrome is the most likely version affected. By default, Google Chrome does not print debug messages to the console. This prevents debugging by attaching a debugger to the renderer process. This can be enabled by setting g_log_verbose to 2 in the browser's about:config page. In addition to the bug being fixed in the reference browser, users of Google Chrome are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest version. Google has also disabled printing debug messages by default in the latest Beta version of Chrome.
