Logging to console from Firefox extension?

Question

I understand that I can log to the console when using a Firefox extension with the cfx run command.

Is there a way to log to a console after the extens

Answer 1

You need to do 2 things:

1. enable logging for addons

   • in about:config, add a new option "extensions.sdk.console.logLevel" and give it the value "all"

   • restart Firefox

2. in Firefox open the Browser Console:

   • Tools -> Web developer -> Browser console

   • NOTE: this is different from the usual Web Console used to debug web pages

You should see addons logs there now.
