Attachment: Example extension that tries to log from a worker created in an extension.

Build ID: 20140428193813

Steps to reproduce:

I created a worker.js file with a single console.log statement. From a javascript code module I load this file into a web worker. 

An demo extension that tries to log from a worker is attached.


Actual results:

No output from the web worker is produced on the browser console.


Expected results:

I should the log statement from the worker on the browser console, in my case: "Worker says Hello!"

I don't know if this is the correct thing to do, but I am tagging Andrea Marchesini because they worked on the original implementation: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620935

Workers created from JSM cannot use Console API at the moment because the window object is required.
Bug 988636 is about this.
