How do I make sure that chrome mode is enabled (other than by looking in about:config) ?

I enabled chrome mode (devtools.chrome.enabled = true) in about:config. But it doesn't seem to on. I would like to be sure.

Is there a website where i can test that my browser has chrome mode enabled ?

Was setting devtools.chrome.enabled to true the good way to set my browser in chrome mode ?

Actually, my problem is running Selenium tests. I would like be able to use the screenshot function in a web browser (not in Selenium IDE). In a comment in selenium-api.js, it's written that the capture screenshot command would only work under Firefox in Chrome mode.

Thank you in advance for your help, Best Regards, Xavier Hardy

No, see line 905: resource:///defaults/pref/firefox.js 

// Enable tools for Chrome development.
pref("devtools.chrome.enabled", false);

Ok, thank you a lot. I found the preference and set it to true.

The problem is, the function i'm using is said to only work with firefox in chrome mode, but it still doesn't. How can i make sure that it's actually in chrome mode ?

What do you mean with chrome mode?

The only mode that I can think of without chrome would be full screen mode.

There's a comment in the function i'm trying to call:

Saves the entire contents of the current window canvas to a PNG file. Contrast this with the captureScreenshot command, which captures the contents of the OS viewport (i.e. whatever is currently being displayed on the monitor), and is implemented in the RC only. Currently this only works in Firefox when running in chrome mode, and in IE non-HTA using the EXPERIMENTAL "Snapsie" utility. The Firefox implementation is mostly borrowed from the Screengrab! Firefox extension. Please see http://www.screengrab.org and http://snapsie.sourceforge.net/ for details.

Firefox does not have a chrome mode. Selenium RC has a *chrome mode and a *iehta mode. So I think you are referring to the Selenium running modes.
