I want to make sure everyone is on the same page regarding this bug. Since fixing DevTools in frames with type="content" will take some time, a workaround will be used in order to unblock the Fission work (bug 1544419). Once the remaining blocking DevTools bugs are fixed (Bug 1543710 and Bug 1543940), we will land an additional patch in this bug to enable type="content" for DevTools frames and close this bug. Since we can't land the change behind a preference, I am closing Bug 1539979 immediately. This bug was supposed to flip said preference to true and is now irrelevant. To follow the progress about DevTools running in type="content", this bug remains the main bug to watch. More focused discussions about the remaining technical issues can be found in the blocking bugs.
