How to dock the Firefox Browser Console

Question

How do I dock the Browser Console window in Firefox?

The Browser Console currently opens in a separate window. I'd prefer for it to be docked to the bottom of the main window.

There's a similar question for Firebug.

There is no stock way to dock the Browser Console to a specific window. The Browser Console is for the entirety of the Firefox browser. What it shows is not limited to a single window. Thus, from a user interface point of view, it does not make sense to have it be docked to a single window.

It might be possible to create an add-on which opens an equivalent page that is in a bottom bar.

The best I could do was manually to dock Browser Console window and Firefox window in my desktop environment (Gnome on Fedora) so that they are both visible when debugging.

I don't know of any way with the built-in console. However, the 'Web Developer Extension' add-on console has toggles to dock to a window, but also several additional useful layouts.

This does not provide an answer to the question. The question was how to do it, not whether it does. – LW001 Oct 02 '17 at 12:31
