I haven't used Firefox seriously in a while, but the shift+F4 shortcut looks fairly similarly to the Chrome developer console (F12, select the Console tab). It looks like the Firefox shell is more designed for making new pages though, while the Chrome one is more for debugging the current page.

I use Firefox, and I had no idea about Shift+F4 either. Firefox also has Ctrl-Shift-K (probably Cmd-Shift-K on Mac) which is much more similar to the Chrome console you're talking about, and is useful for debugging the page you're on.
