Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

The Add-on Console will provide add-on authors with a console GUI for use in the add-on environment.

2. Users & use cases

All add-on authors will immediately benefit from this addition, as the the only existing logging mechanism is the Firefox error console.

3. Dependencies

`

4. Requirements

The Add-on Console will allow add-on authors to view logged objects and messages in a console GUI on par with, or identical to, the console we provide to web content. The console will allow for rich inspection of logged objects, as opposed to the current Firefox error console's simple string output.
