The Debugger panel in Firefox Developer Edition 52.0a2 is actually an external project, redesigned from scratch , which does not yet have all the features of the original Debugger panel.
Expressions in watches are clearly not yet included due to some issues .
So, if you need hourly expressions, you either need to wait until the function is overridden in the new debugger panel, or you can switch to the old user interface by setting the preference devtools.debugger.new-debugger-frontend in about: config to false .
