1356734 - Don't open a debugger for browser.xul in the same window!

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(DevTools :: General, enhancement)

Description

[(no longer active)]

I was building so my machine was slow and I was scrolling my bookmarks menu and I got a chrome unresponsive script dialog menu somewhere in places js code giving me the option to wait, kill the script, or "debug", and in order to see whether we have this bug, I clicked debug!  The devtools UI opened in the same browser window which was active and the debugger froze JS execution in the window that it was running inside and the window became unusable!

For context, did you have e10s disabled?  AFAIK, the debug option is not available with e10s on at the moment (bug 1275723).

No.

Clearly some assumption somewhere is broken then.

Ah, I think I missed earlier that it was unresponsive chrome JS (not content).  The debug button for chrome JS would probably need to open the Browser Toolbox.

The Debug button is no longer available, closing.
