My hosting machine is Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit and my mobile device is Vodafone 875 (Android 4.1.1).

I've done all the recommendations on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Remote_Debugging but when I try to connect I receive the following message: Error: connection timeout.

I don't know what to do. Can you help me?

Hello,

Can you please confirm that you are trying to remote debug the Firefox on Android. If so, can you please check if iptables or the default firewall on your machine is blocking any outbound connections. That could be a start. If that doesn't help then we can check other possibilities.

Thank you

Yes, I'm trying to remote debug Firefox on Android via USB cable, as specified in the guide.

I'm sorry but how can I check iptables or the firewall? Could you be more specific? Thanks

Hello,

Before moving to iptables, I want to confirm that the port forwarding steps mentioned in the article are setup properly. Can you please confirm that it was setup without any issues.

Also, you can login to the Mozilla IRC, irc.mozilla.org on channels #b2g or #introduction for more help. Though #introduction might be more relevant.

Thank you

The #b2g is for issues relating to Firefox OS. The #introduction channel is for new contributors that want to get started with Mozilla. For Firefox for Android, please visit the #mobile channel. Thank you! [Feer56]

Make sure you run the `adb forward` command every time you connect your device.

Make sure that adb is able to connect (e.g., by running `adb logcat`).

Make sure Firefox is running on the device, and that the

devtools.debugger.remote-enabled

pref is set to True in about:config on your phone.

adb logcat returns an infinite string that I do not report.

devtools.debugger.remote-enabled is set to true on my phone.


if you wish we can meet in #mobile to speed up things. Give me a UTC time when you are there and that I would be fine.
