Summary
Analyze keywords

Currently, logging is performed into app console & into standard out stream (using dump()).

On Windows, you might want to use one of the following approaches (e.g., using Firefox Developer Edition):

  1. "C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe" > "C:\Users\you\f.log" &:: pipe to a file And then tail it (e.g., using Cygwin): tail -f "C:\Users\you\f.log" OR
  2. "C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe" -console
[1] To see dump() output on Windows with -console argument (approach 2. above), browser.dom.window.dump.enabled pref needs to be set to true (manually, since Mozilla no longer allows extensions to change apps' preferences): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/dump
