Description

The debugging tip in docs/add-to-firefox.md referenced the #webextensions IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org. Mozilla shut that server down in 2020 and migrated to Matrix, so the link was a dead end for anyone following it.

Replaced with the current #webextensions room on the Mozilla Matrix server.

Changelog

CHANGELOG entry: null
