I can't enable USB Devices on about:debugging setup page. I already installed ADB toolkit for MacOS, also I can see my device in ADB devices list: ``` ~% adb devices -l List of devices attached 013db356 device usb:336723968X product:OnePlus6T model:ONEPLUS_A6010 device:OnePlus6T transport_id:9 ```

On the device I've enabled "Remote debugging via USB". But when I click on "Enable USB Devices" button, nothing happens. I can see only "Updating..." message, then "Disabled" again.

Also no devices in the devices list, because USB Devices are disabled. "Refresh devices" does not make any changes.

It needs to change the preference “devtools.remote.adb.extensionURL” to https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/labs/devtools/adb-extension/#OS#/adb-extension-latest-#OS#.xpi in about:config (basically remove the /mozilla.org from the current value).

I assume that you have read the docs and possibly did "Refresh devices" ?

Probably best is to take this to the Discourse Devtools forum.

Ok, your post says iOS but your screenshot says Android? So which one is it? I think you need to contact the Developer of that software you using for more help on it's setup and why it's not working.

MacOS, not iOS. Firefox on MacOS and mobile Firefox on Android. Also, the problem not on Android, it's on Firefox Browser on MacOS. I can't enable USB Devices. The button does nothing.
