For debugging purpose, I’m wondering if there is a way to watch Simple Storage data your add-ons actually store (the Storage tab doesn’t show those data by default).
N.B.: I have enabled the Chrome and Addons debugger options.
By the way, is there a list of recommended addons somewhere for addon development (a kind of first aid kit for developers)?
EDIT: I figured out how to watch for network activity through the browser toolbox.
I’m not aware of any tool for that. There’s been a tendency of integrating those improvements to the Developer Tools so no extra add-ons are required. Maybe it’s a good idea to request it?
Yes, in the Web Developer menu there’s a Get More Tools option that should take you to this collection.
