Firefox Supports Remote Web Console Debugging for Android

One of the advantage of Firefox over Chrome browser is its support of developer tools such as the remote debugger and now the Firefox Web Console. Although Chrome can now debug an Android session remotely via a USB connection. Firefox added a basic remote debugging window last August that uses WiFi network connection as well as USB. On the latest version of Firefox, all you have to do is to start a desktop version of Firefox. Set some configurations options on both the desktop Firefox and the remote Firefox for Android. You can then start the debugger on the desktop Firefox and enter the IP address of the remote Android device. Once connected you can use the desktop debugger to find out what is happening in the remote Firefox for Android. During the time when the remote debugger was first introduced there were some complaints because it doesn't contain a JavaScript console but now, you can use the debugging window and the full Web console which includes the JavaScript console. The only downside is that it only works with version 19 or later. The remote Web Console can be used in the same way as the debugger and you can connect using the network or a USB cable. Once installed you not only get the JavaScript console but most of the facilities available in the Web console, including the network monitor.
