The browser.fission.simulate preference has been split into two preferences: fission.frontend.simulate-events and fission.frontend.simulate-messages. The remote agent briefly used the child actor system from the Firefox frontend code when we prototyped the initial remote agent, but it no longer relies on it. This means we can drop the reference to browser.fission.simulate altogether. DONTBUILD Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D27538 --HG-- extra : moz-landing-system : lando

The Firefox remote agent is a low-level debugging interface based
|
|
on the CDP protocol.
|
|
|
|
With it, you can inspect the state and control execution of documents
|
|
running in web content, instrument Gecko in interesting ways,
|
|
simulate user interaction for automation purposes, and debug
|
|
JavaScript execution.
|
|
|
|
This component provides an experimental and partial implementation
|
|
of a remote devtools interface using the CDP protocol and transport
|
|
layer.
|
|
|
|
See https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/remote/ for documentation.
|
|
|
|
The remote agent is not by default included in Firefox builds. To
|
|
build it, put this in your mozconfig:
|
|
|
|
ac_add_options --enable-cdp
|
|
|
|
This exposes a --remote-debugger flag you can use to start the
|
|
remote agent:
|
|
|
|
% ./mach run --remote-debugger
|
