The add-on debugger is the big part of this update. Add-on dev is a pain in the ass on Firefox, and I hope this helps.


I agree. I don't have much experience, but writing an addon for Firefox was a pain. When debugging, it's a constant "cfx run", read cryptic output, close browser, try to fix, rinse and repeat.

Compare it with Chrome where you can see the error, it show where the problem is and you can even edit/patch the addon live without having to restart the browser.
