Firefox Dev tools

[maie...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have no experience with web development whatsoever, so I'm not used to using Firefox dev tools for debugging or for anything at all... What are the potential use cases of using Firefox dev tools and how does that look in practice? (I'm referring to this paragraph in the documentation: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/zotero_7_for_developers#using_the_firefox_developer_tools)

Best,

Denis

For me, I use the devtools to:

1. execute JS code in the console (or in the RunJS window, depending on you);

2. inspect elements to adjust DOM and debug CSS;

3. jump to the code from the call stack from the console and step through

4. check network requests

Thanks.

Can you recommend any good tutorials for this?

That's for Chrome's devtools, but basically, it works the same way as Firefox's.
