Debugging on MacOS Ventura beta?

ThomasJorna
Hi! I make the Zotero-night plugin, and I rely on being able to inspect the DOM in order to figure out the relevant css selectors. I was doing this by remote debugging Zotero with Firefox 60-ESR, but on the latest MacOS version (Ventura/13) for Apple Silicon I have not been able to get Firefox to boot up.

Given that I've seen it be mentioned that Zotero is tested on Venture for Apple Silicon, is this a known issue or am I missing something? Is there any other way to inspect the DOM for Zotero?

Thank you for your time!

    (this was for 68 but it's the same for 60)

    Yeah, you shouldn't expect Firefox 60 to work on Ventura. For now, you'll want to continue running Fx60 on Monterey/Linux/Windows, perhaps in a VM. You can of course also just use something like document.documentElement.outerHTML in the Run JavaScript console to see the whole DOM for the document, though that wouldn't let you easily test new styles.

    As noted on the dev list, going forward Zotero 7 will be compatible with the current Firefox Dev Tools.

    Ah I just saw that announcement, very exciting! I will then just try to keep up with a few new styles and not make too many adjustments until Zotero 7!
