 ==Debug Tools==
-There are not yet the same amount of tools available for developers as there are for desktop Firefox, but some efforts are underway. Follow [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492883 bug 492883] for progress on the integration of the Error Console.
+There are not yet the same amount of tools available for developers as there are for desktop Firefox, but some efforts are underway. If running a desktop version of Fennec, you can install DOM Inspector. You can also launch Fennec using the <code>-jsconsole</code> flag to display an Error Console window.
+The Error Console window is also integrated into Fennec itself. It’s hidden by default – you need to use '''about:config''' to display it.
+* Navigate to “about:config”
+* Set “browser.console.showInPanel” to “true”
+* Restart Fennec
+* Go to the Browser Panels to display the Error Console
 ==Installing==
 Extensions can be hosted on websites and installed by clicking on the extension link in Fennec. Make sure the webserver is serving the extension XPI with the right MIME type (application/x-xpinstall). The add-on installation UI should appear after clicking the link. Fennec supports a basic Add-on Manager user interface, which allows a user to manage extensions. Using this interface, a user can also install extensions from AMO (addons.mozila.org). Extensions can be removed using the same dialog.
