I created a Chrome extension and am using localStorage for storing data.

I am accessing localStorage through "background_page".

It works fine but how can I manually view its values? In Firefox you can use Firebug.

Anyone have any suggestions?

It's simple. Just go to the developer tools by pressing F12, then go to the Application tab. In the Storage section expand Local Storage. After that, you'll see all your browser's local storage there.
