The command web-ext run
is used to run a web extension in a browser. The --source-dir
flag is used to specify the directory location where the extension's source code is located.
${path-to-directory}
is a placeholder for the actual path to the directory containing the extension's source code. You need to replace ${path-to-directory}
with the actual path when using the command.
By running this command with the proper path to the directory, the web extension will be launched in a browser for testing and debugging purposes.
