I have developed some Firefox add-ons (extensions) already for Desktop and Mobile Firefox, but now I can't install the add-on/extension into the browser running in Firefox OS (I'm using the Simulator add-on). Please note I don't want to create a traditional Firefox OS application, but a traditional browser extension.
I have the application ID from Fennec (aa3c5121-dab2-40e2-81ca-7ea25febc110) in install.rdf. I also tried Mobile a23983c0-fd0e-11dc-95ff-0800200c9a66, it does not work either.
Is it that the Simulator does not support add-ons? Or do I need a different application ID? Or is it something totally different?
My other problem is that I can't see any debug logs, like the usual dab log cat. Even about:config is not accessible from the browser.

With Firefox open, hit Ctrl+ o (or Cmd+ o) > browse to the extension > double click the extension (or select Open) > Install Now. Method: Press Alt + f > o > browse to the extension > double click the extension (or select Open) > Install Now.
Find and add extensions in Firefox Open Firefox. In the window's upper-right corner, click the Open Applications Menu icon. In the drop-down menu, select Add-ons and themes.
Download the file to your local computer. , click Add-ons and Themes and select Extensions. To add the downloaded add-on to the list of available add-ons, drag and drop the file into the Add-ons window. The add-on is added to the list.
The Firefox browser that comes with Firefox OS is still an infant. It unfortunately still doesn't support add-ons and a lot of other stuff we love from Firefox and Firefox for Android.
