Details

(Whiteboard: triaged [addon-debugging])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 Build ID: 20161028101142 Steps to reproduce: I wanted to debug WebExtension B's background script. I already had a debugger running on unrelated WebExtension A's background script. 1. I navigated to about:debugging 2. I clicked the "Debug" button next to WebExtension B Actual results: I received a popup saying "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." There was no debugger for WebExtension B. The debugger for WebExtension A continued running as usual. Expected results: I should have been able to debug WebExtension B.

This is now working, it has been fixed as a side-effect of migrating the "Addon Debugging toolbox" away from BrowserToolboxProcess, which was part of the changes introduced by Bug 1525533.
