A quick search for messages with "dump" in their subject lines in m.xpfe 
finds the answer: 
news://news.mozilla.org:119/beuain$hh1@ripley.netscape.com has it, so 
does news://news.mozilla.org:119/3E00BA5E.1070501@ultrid.com (using UI 
rather than naming the pref) and 
news://news.mozilla.org:119/3B5B5271.9CA737D2@netscape.com:

 From the UI:
   Edit -> Preferences -> Debug -> Enable JavaScript dump() output

Before starting, add this pref:
   user_pref("browser.dom.window.dump.enabled", true);

Note cross-posting with followup-to: m.xpfe set.
