GM log
From GreaseSpot Wiki
Description
This API method allows script authors simple access to logging informational messages in the Error Console.
If you aren't seeing your messages, make sure you navigate to about:config, and change the values of javascript.options.showInConsole and javascript.options.strict to true. This can be helpful for debugging.
