# Accessing your debugger log [edit]

This page describes how to access your debugger log in Firefox.

## Introduction

Just like Aptana Studio has a log file to help diagnose bugs, the Aptana JavaScript debugger has an error log that you can access through Firefox. If you think you find a bug in the debugger, you can post the log contents to the forums or Trac to help the Aptana team troubleshoot the issue.

## Instructions

You will need to have installed the debugger into your browser to be able to access your log. See Installing the JavaScript debugger or Installing the IE debugger for installation help.
