Firefox inspect addon's network traffic

I'm using Firefox Developer Edition 60.0b6 on Mac OS X. I'm inspecting an addon (XPI file) developed by someone else with WebExtensions API.

How can I inspect the network traffic from the addon (XHR traffic in particular)? For normal web pages, I can simply open the developer console, but there is no such console for addons (even though addons are just javascripts).

You can enable add-on debugging by visiting about:debugging, and then click Debug for your extension to access the console and inspect network traffic. (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Debugging for more information)
