I've found the solution: On Linux one just needs to find the “webapprt-stub” executable and start it with the "-jsconsole" option. On Windows it seems to be an .exe having the name of the web app. I have very rapidly created the following article https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Apps/Tutorials/Debugging_the_app to have the answer referenced on MDN. I'll elaborate more ASAP.
