-Once you have enabled '''chrome and addon debugging''' you should start seeing log entries appearing under the '''Browser Console'''. Here's a quick way to ensure that logging is working correctly:

-= Using Commands inside Browser Console =
+* Type in '''about:config''' into the Firefox URL bar and hit [ENTER]
+* You'll get a '''This might void your warranty!''' screen, select the '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button
+* Once selected, under the search field at the top, type in '''devtools.chrome.enabled'''
+* Double click on '''devtools.chrome.enabled''' so it appears bold and the '''Value''' should change to '''True''' (originally it was set to '''False''')
