          Firefox 57 and later




          1. Select Settings menu (3 horizontal lines icon in upper right corner) -> Web Developer -> Scratchpad.


          2. Click the Run button on the Scratchpad toolbar to run your JavaScript code.





          Firefox 56 and earlier




          1. Open a new tab in Firefox and in the URL bar, and enter about:blank to display a blank tab so that you can see what you are doing.


          2. From the Firefox menu select Tools -> Web Developer -> Web Console.


          3. A new Web Console window will open. From the Web Console window click the JS button on the toolbar.


          4. From the Web Console window click on the Scratchpad icon in the toolbar. The Scratchpad icon looks like a notepad.


          5. A new Scratchpad window will open. Copy your javascript code: javascript:alert('Hello, World') in the Scratchpad window.


          6. Click the Run button on the Scratchpad toolbar to run your JavaScript code.

            For firefox android version, you can try this bookmarklet:



            javascript:var a=prompt();var f=Function(a);f();



            It will open a prompt box. Type your command in it (without "javascript:") and it will run.

            • I'm on desktop Linux, but this worked for me: javascript:var a=function(){ alert(prompt()); }(). (Edit - added 'alert' around 'prompt' to show use of the output.)
