so I typed:

alert('wtf');

into the firebug console and hit run

However instead of having the browser, alerting 'wtf', the console instead prints 

>>> alert('wtf');

how do I go about making the console actually run javascript instead of just regurgitating my commands..

    Should just work by entering the JavaScript code like you did. Restart Firebug / FireFox? Commented Aug 21, 2013 at 19:23

    restarting didnt work....the thing used to work but suddenly stops Commented Aug 21, 2013 at 19:27
  • Maybe there are some other javascript errors earlier in the page that are preventing the console code from working. Try it on a blank html page. Commented Aug 21, 2013 at 19:28

    Please try with Firebug 1.12, and file an issue if it still reproduces. (1.12 fixed a fair number of issues with command line, like conflicts with content-security-policy.) Commented Aug 21, 2013 at 20:18

I am having the exact same problem. Seems to have started since I upgraded to Firefox 23.0.1. What version are you using? I am thinking about rolling back to the previous version to try and resolve it.

Having this problem in 25.0.1 as well, thinking it might be something in a version of the plug-in itself.
@PillarOfLight I am having this same issue. Did you manage to find a solution?

Make sure you are using FireBug 1.12.x which is compatible with versions FireFox version 23-27. The FireBug download page shows the compatibility of each version of FireBug and FireFox.
