John, I found an answer to the lack of debugging info on Windows. Based on this reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Debugging_a_XULRunner_Application If you pass the '-console' option when starting Conkeror on Windows an extra shell pops up with the debugging output. I put a typo in my rc file to test and confirmed that this works. -Mark _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
