User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:85.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/85.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Loading the extension in about:debugging
  2. Click the Inspect button and about:devtools-toolbox opens with the extension
  3. I'm testing the extension
  4. I want to refresh the extension - I need to go back to the about:debugging tab
  5. I go back to about:devtools-toolbox with the extension

Actual results:

I have extra recurring steps at work.

The about:debugging page has no dark mode and it burns my eyes out when I go just reload the extension.

Expected results:

I want the Reload Web Extension Button in about:devtools-toolbox.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'DevTools::about:debugging' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → about:debugging
Product: Firefox → DevTools

Adding a way to reload the extension from about:devtools-toolbox sounds like a good idea.

The about:debugging page has no dark mode

Dark mode was added in Bug 1712511

You should be able to now reload the addon by pressing F5, or Command-or-Ctrl + R.
This has probably been added via bug 1708635 and/or bug 1718279.

I'm not sure it is worth adding a reload button to surface this?

I would say yes, it's worth surfacing. Note that we have all the navigation buttons available in about:devtools-toolbox when debugging a tab
