Debugging firefox extension
I like to make some changes to a firefox extension(DownThem All).
In that they have written Debug logs like:
Debug.log('<Whatever>');
I wanted to view those开发者_运维技巧 messages during execution, in order to make the changes effectively. How to view those messages (most preferably i wanted to set breakpoints and make inlace modification)?
I am running firefox 5.
tail -f
the log file.
Or to stay in Firefox, DTA preferences->privacy->view log
, and refresh manually or set a greasemonkey script to periodically refresh.
If you want to alter the extension, unzip the .xpi
file to its' directory (DTA is {DD} in <profile>/extensions
) and rename the .xpi
, so Firefox will load the code from the directory, which you can alter at will.
For breakpoints etc, use firebug & chromebug.
