You can make things appear in logcat using printf_stderr. With debug builds, NS_WARNING, NS_ERROR and NS_ASSERTIONS will show up in logcat. If you're trying to debug something, you may wish to pipe the logcat output through grep to filter out irrelevant things (most Fennec-related output will be viewable by "adb logcat | grep Gecko"), but remember that when attaching log output to a bug you should include unfiltered output as there may be relevant log entries under other tags.
