Get the MetaMask popup to the point where it shows the bug (the developer will probably specify exactly where). +2. Right click on the extension popup UI, and in the menu, click "Inspect". This will open the developer tools. +3. In case it isn't already selected, click the "Console" tab in the new Developer Tools window. +4. In the console, type this command exactly: `logState()`. This should print a bunch of JSON text into your console. +5. Copy that printed JSON text +6. *Optional*: Annonymize that text if you'd like (you may change all instances of an account address to another valid account address, for example) We may automate the anonymization in the future. +7. Send that JSON text to the developer, ideally pasting it in the issue regarding the bug. |
