  2. Go to about:debugging
  3. Click "Debug" under the add-on

Expected results:

Browser Toolbox with console

Actual results:

Browser Toolbox connection status:

Connecting to localhost:54396, ws: false
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x804b000d (NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED) [nsIInputStream.available]" nsresult: "0x804b000d (NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED)" location: "JS frame :: resource://devtools/shared/security/socket.js :: onInputStreamReady :: line 328" data: no]

Moving this to about:debugging as I think this bug belongs there.

This should be fixed on Nightly thanks to Bug 1525533. We are no longer spawning a new Firefox instance to debug local addons, so the connection issues should be gone. I will close as duplicate, feel free to reopen if you still have the issue.
