1522798 - Browser Toolbox doesn't open in Windows 10 sometimes

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(DevTools :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Jan Honza Odvarko [:Honza] (always need-info? me)]

STR:

1. Try to open Browser Toolbox using: Tools -> WebDeveloper -> Browser Toolbox

No window opened, no error in the system console/browser console

This happens in every new Firefox profile I create after some time (no extensions installed). I am usually forced to create another profile to get the Browser Toolbox working - since trying open it repeatedly doesn't help. Using that same broken profile next day often works.

There is nothing in the system console, but flipping this pref:

devtools.debugger.log

...can help to see more about what's happening.
(even if I didn't see any helpful error there)

(Maybe commenting out the line in this bug, could help)

I don't know what the problem is but, bug 1615412 might be related.

This seems very similar to bug 1586741, which I see basically every day or so.

This is likely fixed by work done in Bug 1120863 - Browser toolbox starts blank and doesn't function with pending updates
Feel free to reopen if you are still experiencing this issue.
