Why does FF 3.6.24 write "Tab Close" to Console Log?
Everytime I close a tab (few seconds thereafter) Firefox 3.6.24 writes the following line to console system log (OS X):
.org.mozilla.firefox[7254] Tab close- tab
Curious. Why?
OS X 10.5 Firefox 3.6.24

This is caused by the Firefox addon "DownloadHelper" version 4.9.8.
On line 819 of dhCore.js, it has this statement:
dump("Tab close- "+event.target.tagName+"\n");
In case you're curious, any Javascript can print messages to console.log by using the dump() function, and any addon can hook into browser-wide events like tabs being closed.
You can safely comment this out by prefixing the line with "//" (without the quotes) and restart Firefox. I also raised a bug with the addon developer: http://bugzilla.downloadhelper.net/show_bug.cgi?id=405

You can also try to set the Boolean pref browser.dom.window.dump.enabled to false on the about:config page.
Cor-el,
Thanks for your reply. The pref you mention doesn't exist in my about:config. No prefs containing "browser.dom" or "dump". My FF is 3.6.25.
