add-on debug examples

[joncat]

I'm working on my first add-on and trying out the examples.
I'm on FF 45.0.2 on Ubuntu 14

I'm working through running the examples with Browser toolbox enabled.

When in about:debugging#addons, when I click 'Debug' on Add-ons page I get alert: 'Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.'
- Not sure what should happen?

Can you tell us which page specifically you were looking at when you ran
into this problem? That will help us determine if there's something we
need to correct.

OK - sorted this one - if you click 'debug' when Browser toolbox enabled in Toolbox options - then the toolbox window will appear. If you click again - then you get the message above - maybe a better message?

You are right, it's very confusing. I've often thought so too, but thank
you for giving me the nudge I needed to file a bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1268073 :-)
