1650149 - Please turn on devtools.browserconsole.contentMessages by default

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Add-Ons: General, enhancement)

Description

[[e-mail]]

So that when an extension throws an error, a user can find it without having to trawl through Tools - Developer Tools - Debug Add-ons - Your Addon's Inspect button - Console

(Extension errors used to appear in the global console in previous releases of Thunderbird, but I don't know whether that the preference even existed back then, so I'm not marking this as a regression.)
