It would be nice to be able to open about:debugging from Thunderbird, as it's useful to temporary load WebExtensions and debug them.
Hmm, it's already there, but it's named "Add-on Debugger" which is extremely confusing. I would expect that menu item to launch an actual debugging toolbox, not about:debugging.


Can we rename it to "Debug add-ons" ?

This looks like something for Philipp who's brought FF-style dev tools to TB.

How about "Add-on Debugging" ?

"Add-on Debugging" is also fine for me, but the menu item in the cog icon in about:addons says "Debug Add-ons" so, we might want to be consistent here.
Ah ok, makes sense. Fine to change it to "Debug Add-ons" then. Can you prepare a patch?
