Now that the security review in bug 1542229 and the follow-up work that came out of it is complete, we should go ahead and flip the remote.enabled preference. This patch causes the remote agent to be available to users on the Firefox Nightly release channel. This meansusing --remote-debugger will no longer cause a fatal error Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D55137 --HG-- extra : moz-landing-system : lando

Debugging
Increasing the logging verbosity
To increase the internal logging verbosity you can use the
remote.log.level
preference.
If you use mach to start Firefox:
./mach run --setpref "remote.log.level=Debug" --remote-debugger
Enabling logging of emitted events
To dump events produced by EventEmitter,
including CDP events produced by the remote agent,
you can use the toolkit.dump.emit
preference:
./mach run --setpref "toolkit.dump.emit=true" --remote-debugger
Logging observer notifications
System observer notifications are used extensively throughout the code and it can sometimes be useful to log these to see what is available and when they are fired.
The MOZ_LOG
environment variable controls the C++ logs and takes
the name of the subsystem along with a verbosity setting. See
prlog.h for more details.
MOZ_LOG=ObserverService:5
You can optionally redirect logs away from stdout to a file:
MOZ_LOG_FILE=service.log
This enables LogLevel::Debug
level information and places all
output in the file service.log in your current working directory.
