1312824 - Consider repackaging devtools as an add-on

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[James Willcox (:snorp) ([e-mail]) (he/him)]

The devtools appear to use about 1.3MB of space uncompressed. If we removed this from the omni.jar and instead put it in an addon we could reclaim maybe 800k.

Naive question - since as far as I know any devtool "usage" is effectively done remotely via the WebIDE anyway, to what extent are the devtools actually required on Fennec? Having said that, putting the whole shebang into an addon might still be easier than splitting this up into the bits that are required and Fennec and those that can be left out.
