Developer Toolbox does not open

[Clued2it]

I noticed that the Developer Toolbox does not open on my Thunderbird v.78.5.0 on Windows 10 Pro. It doesn't open either with the shortcut or through the menu. Any ideas why this may be so?

It looks like it is not enabled in TB 78.5.0 on Linux if I'm looking at the correct Config Editor settings.

"devtools.application.enabled;false"

Thank you. I enabled it after what you wrote, but it still doesn't work.

It works here.

Thunderbird 78.5.0
Windows 7 SP1 32-bit

I set these preferences before using the developer toolbox.

Code: Select all

set devtools.chrome.enabled                    pref to true  (default true)
set devtools.debugger.remote-enabled           pref to true  (default true)
set devtools.debugger.prompt-connection        pref to false (default true)
set devtools.inspector.showAllAnonymousContent pref to true  (default false)

How to open the developer toolbox using the error console.

Code: Select all

BrowserToolboxLauncher.init();

Thank you for your suggestion. I ensured that the preferences were set as per your list and now I get access to the Developer Toolbox. In fact my devtools.chrome.enabled and devtools.inspector.showAllAnonymousContent needed to be changed.

So can you do anything with it in Thunderbird?

I would think it is disabled for a reason.
