Reset to default 10According to Mozilla
The Browser Console is like the Web Console, but applied to the whole browser rather than a single content tab.
So it logs the same sorts of information as the Web Console - network requests, JavaScript, CSS, and security errors and warnings, and messages explicitly logged by JavaScript code. However, rather than logging this information for a single content tab, it logs information for all content tabs, for add-ons, and for the browser's own code.
The Web Console on the other hand:
Logs information associated with a web page: network requests, JavaScript, CSS, security errors and warnings as well as error, warning and informational messages explicitly logged by JavaScript code running in the page context
Enables you to interact with a web page by executing JavaScript expressions in the context of the page
