Web Development Tools

For web developers, &brandShortName; provides several tools to aid in developing and debugging web applications. Some of these are optional installs. To access these tools, open the Tools menu and choose Web Development.

• Error Console: a console window that reports problems with JavaScript and CSS code in web applications and the &brandShortName; application itself. By default, CSS parsing errors and JavaScript errors are displayed. The console can also be used to display logged messages from XUL and JavaScript code.
• Developer Tools: &brandShortName; includes a set of developer tools that can be docked to the bottom of a browser window or used in a separate window. The Toggle Tools command in the Web Development menu can be used to open and close the Developer Tools. The Developer Tools are shared with Firefox.
