Collect Error Logs

Problem

You have an issue with Tab Stash and haven't been able to get to the bottom of it.

Explanation

Here's how to collect error logs from Firefox which might be related to Tab Stash. Errors might appear in two places:

• The background page, which collects errors from the Tab Stash sidebar, popup view (if enabled), and various background cleanup tasks
• The UI itself, when the UI is opened in its own tab

Solution

PRIVACY NOTE: Error logs may contain information such as tab titles and page URLs. Before sharing error logs, please review them and erase/redact any information you are not comfortable sharing in a public bug report.

To collect logs from the background page, Tab Stash sidebar or Tab Stash popup:

1. Open a new tab and go to about:debugging.
2. Choose "This Firefox" in the sidebar
3. Find Tab Stash in the list of add-ons and click "Inspect". This should open the Firefox developer tools.
4. Click on the "Console" tab in the developer tools to see log messages.
5. Try to reproduce the problem you were seeing before with the console open.
6. Note down what new log messages appear in the console (if any).

Note that Firefox includes logs from Tab Stash as well as internal browser components and other extensions in the background page log, so even if you see errors, it's not necessarily indicative of a problem with Tab Stash itself.

To collect logs from the Tab Stash tab UI:

1. Right-click anywhere inside the "Tab Stash" tab
2. Choose "Inspect". This should open the Firefox developer tools.
3. Click on the "Console" tab in the developer tools to see log messages.
