I sent you a mockup of the Addon. We should discuss this first to start building the idea and the concept of the Addon. What you think?

What you think @cr?

I meanwhile think this is just the way to go if we actually can, so we should find out. Since we already have the dev tools skeleton in place, would you want to prototype a Foxalyzer tab that lists the file structure of the app in the left column, and then display a file's content if you click it? Much like the Debugger tab, but not just for the js files, more like the file browser in zamboni. The goal wouldn't be so much to have the file browser functionality, but to determine early on whether the debug link to the device offers the kind of fine-grained file access that we require.

Meanwhile I'd focus on documenting, de-node-ing, and interfacing the scanners.

I see a slight disadvantage of accessing the scanner functions only via a dev tools tab: You can access it only after you push it to a device or the simulator. That may be allright, but I'd suggest to add another way to access the scan results: As a button in the app view of about:app-manager, right next to the Update/Debug buttons. Do you see problems with this option?
