Details

There is currently no way to view the Console for the compose scripts, which makes them difficult to debug. If you select the compose window from the "Developer Toolbox", the Console is blank.

In Firefox, if you do console.log() from a content script, the output is shown in the Console for the tab. In Thunderbird, you can find the compose window document from the "Developer Toolbox", but the Console is blank. First posted: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1630786#c10.

Console messages show in the Error Console and the main Developer Toolbox (no matter which window you have it on) as long as you have "Show content messages" selected from the gear menu. They don't show up in the add-on debugging toolbox, which is annoying but I'm doubtful it will ever be fixed. So I'm calling this "NEW" but there's not much we can do about it.
