Open Firefox JavaScript Console in Sidebar

[Stryker]

For all you developer-type people, I just found this little trick for the Firefox JavaScript Console. I was looking for a way to "dock" the JS console to the browser window, and here's what I found...

Here is how you can have Firefox’s JavaScript Console open in a sidebar:

1. Click on the Bookmarks menu and select Manage Bookmarks…
2. Click the New Bookmark toolbar button
3. Enter JavaScript Console as the name
4. Enter chrome://global/content/console.xul as the location
5. Check the Load this bookmark in the sidebar checkbox
6. Click OK

Now you have a bookmark that will open the JS Console in a sidebar! I keep mine in the Bookmarks Toolbar so it's a single click to get to it.

Enjoy,
