Fever Dream

This module doesn't work. But you're curious, so I'm going to give you some basic information. Curiosity is good, it is how we move forward as a people.

This adds a button to your Firefox toolbar. It's an icon that I took from a sample addon Jeff Griffiths did. I don't know where he got the icon.

Chrome

Get the addon-sdk and activate it
Get FirefoxNightly and make sure addon-sdk is using it.
Start a recent Canary build with --remote-debugging-port=9222
Navigate to the page you want to look at - I don't have navigation working yet.
"cfx run"
- use the -b option to point it at Firefox Nightly if necessary.
Press the little button that was added to your toolbar.

Troubleshooting:

If you don't see a new toolbar button, something is broken. Maybe console spew will help.
If you click on the toolbar button and nothing happens, you either
- don't have canary running with --remote-debugging-port=9222 or
- your canary isn't new enough[1]

Chrome on Android

This is even more broken than chrome desktop right now.

Same as above, but also turn on debugging and set up adb as described in https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging-legacy EXCEPT use 9223 as your port, not 9222. Because of reasons.
It would be nice if we could figure out the new connection stuff chrome uses.
run 'npm install' to add some of the extra crap we need for this next step
run 'node proxy.js'
Run the addon as usual, it should debug your chromium instance now.
Read the code for proxy.js and curse my name. Read [2] for more info.

Safari on iOS

Same as the chrome setup, but install and run ios_webkit_debug_bridge.

Why did you start this project?

If I answer that I won't actually get around to checking this file in.

Notes

[1] There was a bug in chrome's websocket implementation that prevented Firefox from connecting to it. They fixed the bug quickly, but you need a a recent canary.
