Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:9 bastik]:
 > Is it easily possible to add a category?
 > I see "error", "warning" and "log" for the JavaScript entries, maybe Tor
 could get its own category.

 I don't think so.  Looking at the Firefox code, it looks like the set of
 available categories is fixed.  This is a little disappointing.  We could
 switch to the newer console.info(), console.warn() and console.error() API
 to get the messages broken out by type, but I do not see a way to add a
 completely new category.

 For the record, reason we did not use console.info() and the related
 function is because they cause the output to include extraneous double
 quotes which is confusing.  See
