1133719 - WebIDE should tell you when you need to accept a request on your device

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools Graveyard :: WebIDE, defect)

Description

[Anthony Ricaud (:rik)]

When you connect to a device, a throbber shows up and you could think a long running task is in progress. I know I've seen myself wondering what it is doing, then checked my device, had a "duh" moment, and accepted the request on the device.

Instead of a throbber, could we display a message suggesting to accept the request on the device?

We intend to move remote debugging into about:debugging (bug 1212802) and then remove WebIDE (bug 1314811), so there are no plans to improve the WebIDE UX at this time.
