1755656 - Update doc about fixing bugs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Documentation, task)

Description

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

This is a follow up for this comment: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1754368#c4

According to the firefox-source documentation at here, if I make changes to the CSS, I just need to restart devtools in order to see the changes I make. However simply restarting devtools (or even the locally built Nightly) the changes don't show up until I rebuild it using mach build.

much build faster is needed and the doc should be updated

Perfect, thank you for helping!

Here is the source MD file for the related docs. The link points to the "If this is about changing CSS code..." section:

Just create a patch (just like you'd do for JS code)

Assigned to you.
