This is the answer I would've posted there, except that I "need more
than 10 reputation to post more than 2 links":
-myk
Install [mozilla-apk-cli](https://github.com/mozilla/apk-cli) using NPM:
npm install -g mozilla-apk-cli
Use it to generate a "debuggable" APK for your app from either a source
directory or a URL to the mini-manifest:
mozilla-apk-cli /path/to/source/dir/ arbitrary-name.apk
mozilla-apk-cli http://example.com/path/to/mini/manifest.webapp
arbitrary-name.apk
(Context-click > Inspect Element on the "Free" button in Marketplace to
discover the mini-manifest URL for an app in the Marketplace.)
Install the APK on your Android device:
adb install -r arbitrary-name.apk
Launch the app on the device. Look to the notification area for a
notification about which port the remote debugger server is listening
on. Forward that port on your desktop, f.e. if the port is 12345:
adb forward tcp:12345 tcp:12345
Go to Web Developer > Connect... in Firefox on your desktop and connect
to localhost at the forwarded port. Commence debugging!
Notes:
* Use [Nightly builds of Fennec](http://nightly.mozilla.org/) for the
best experience.
* [Bug 929382](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=929382)
tracks WebIDE (née App Manager) integration.
* [File
bugs](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox%20for%20Android&component=Web%20Apps)
on problems you encounter!
