Yeah we can put a basic logcat dump tool in about:support (for
Release/Beta), which would be a good intern/SoC project. Optionally, we
can bundle the add-on, which has slightly more functionality, with
Nightly/Aurora, and that'll let it continue to work the same way after
AMO change.

It allows you to view the logcat for Firefox without connecting to a PC.
This is useful for us to figure out why things go wrong.
We could probably just put this into Fennec itself, as part of an
about:support type of thing.

I can confirm there will be no restrictions on Nightly and Aurora and
that currently the Firefox 57 restrictions apply to Desktop but not
Android. We want to get a few more things landed in WebExtensions
before we announce changes for Android, but you should expect it soon
around 57.
I don't know the Log View add-on, could you provide a URL to it?
