Shouldn't this be https://github.com/bard/mozrepl/wiki/Tutorial ?

This is intended - window object corresponds to window itself - chrome window. Use content for content window of currently selected tab.

Where is this context documentation? Can you please tell me how to get the URL of the current window?

pyhedgehog commented 9 years ago

Sorry, I've made a tipo - content, instead of context. Documented (as always) on MDN: content. So to get url of browser content of selected tab of topmost browser window, you should write:

repl> content.document.location.href
"https://github.com/bard/mozrepl/issues/64#issuecomment-137261813"
