 Collecting useful debugging information with ADIC is easy.  You only need to know one piece of information for an ADIC-enabled addon and two for any other addon.  This is a quick tutorial on how to use ADIC to collect information about your system.
 
-## Get the Required Information.
-Ask the addon author for the ID of his addon.  This is either a UUID (like {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}) or an email address (like adic@youarefunny.addons.mozilla.org).  You can also get the ID by finding it in the table at `about:support` (see image below).

+## Get the Required Information.
+You can click on the "Browse" button to select from your installed ADIC enabled extensions.  If an istalled addon does not appear in this list it is not ADIC enabled and you need to ask the addon author for the ID of his addon.  This is either a UUID (like {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}) or an email address (like adic@youarefunny.addons.mozilla.org).

+If the add-on is not ADIC enabled the second field will remain enabled.  If you put in a bad ID the "Check" button text will turn red.
+
+## Getting the Add-on's Code
+If the add-on is not ADIC-enabled you can not gather your preferences unless you find the add-on's "code".  The best way is to ask the extension's author where it's preferences are located.  If not you can try to find them by navigating to about:config and typing "extensions." into the filter.  Try to find the prefix of the preferences relevant to the add-on.  For example, ADIC has it's preferences at `extensions.adic.*`.  The "code" of the add-on is the value after extensions.  For ADIC the code would be "adic".  Below I have an example for "HTTPS-Everywhere".
