ChromeLogger

Parses and displays messages from X-ChromeLogger-Data and X-ChromePHP-Data headers in DevTools Web Console facilitating server-side debugging via the Chrome Logger protocol ( https://craig.is/writing/chrome-logger/ ).
What is ChromeLogger?
ChromeLogger is a specialized Firefox add-on that enhances server-side debugging. It operates when DevTools is open on a tab and the debugged url is reloaded or navigated to. It parses and displays data from X-ChromeLogger-Data and X-ChromePHP-Data headers, restoring a function formerly available in Firefox 43 - 56. The add-on requires a server-side component to generate the header data it interprets. It also supports parsing data from DOM after headers have been sent.
