898278 - Remote gcli actor uses Firefox specific code

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools Graveyard :: Graphic Commandline and Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen] [:📆][:🧩]]

The gcli actor uses some Firefox specific code, like:

let chromeWindow = windowMediator.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser");
let contentWindow = chromeWindow.gBrowser.selectedTab.linkedBrowser.contentWindow;

It also uses CommandUtils from resource:///modules/devtools/DeveloperToolbar.jsm, which is in /browser and also uses Firefox-specific code.

We need to figure out how to provide gcli with a sensible content window, especially in cases where the remote end is not Firefox and fix createEnvironment to make the environment's target property more general.
