User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0 Steps to reproduce: I have a created a web extension using browser.webRequest.onBeforeRequest to cancel specific requests. If a request needs to be cancelled, I want to log the url using console.log in browser console. Actual results: The url appears in the browser console only if its window is open. If the browser console window is closed, the url is not logged in the browser console after I open it. Expected results: I would expect that the url would be logged, regardless of the state of the browser console window.

Test.zip
Zip file contains manifest.json and background.js of a test extension which simply cancels all requests and logs them.|

billy78, note that you can use the about:debugging page to inspect your extension. Clicking on the Inspect button will give you a dedicated toolbox, and you can see messages in the Console tab.
Hope this is useful.
