Object Dump JavaScript

Is there a 3rd party add-on/application or some way to perform object map dumping in script debugger for a JavaScript object?

Here is the situation... I have a method being called twice, and during each time something is different. I'm not sure what is different, but something is. So, if I could dump all the properties of window (or at least window.document) into a text editor, I could compare the state between the two calls with a simple file diff. Thoughts?

console.log("my object: %o", myObj)

Otherwise you'll end up with a string representation sometimes displaying:

[object Object]

or some such.

Firebug + console.log(myObjectInstance)

Using console.log(object) will throw your object to the Javascript console, but that's not always what you want. Using JSON.stringify(object) will return most stuff to be stored in a variable, for example to send it to a textarea input and submit the content back to the server.
