The previous commit disabled the remote agent by flipping the remote.enabled preference to false. That prevented the remote agent from initialising or being included in the --help message. This patch implies --enable-cdp in the default Firefox build on Firefox Nightly. Firefox for Android is not supported. This will cause builds to include the remote agent component that lives under remote/. Since the remote agent is disabled by default, users will first have to set the remote.enabled preference to true in order to use it. If you wish to explicitly opt out of including the remote agent when building Firefox, you may do so by using the --disable-cdp build flag in your mozconfig: ac_add_options --disable-cdp Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D27540 --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 disabled by default, but can be enabled by
|
|
setting a preference before running it:
|
|
|
|
% ./mach run --setpref "remote.enabled=true" --remote-debugger
