devtools.inspectedWindow
Note:This page describes the WebExtensions devtools APIs as they exist in Firefox 54. Although the APIs are based on theChrome devtools APIs, there are still many features that are not yet implemented in Firefox, and therefore are not documented here. To see which features are currently missing please seeLimitations of the devtools APIs.
Thedevtools.inspectedWindow API lets a devtools extension interact with the window that the developer tools are attached to.
Like all thedevtools APIs, this API is only available to code running in the document defined in thedevtools_page manifest.json key, or in other devtools documents created by the extension (such as the document hosted by a panel the extension created). SeeExtending the developer tools for more.
