1488509 - [remote-dbg-next] Addon manifest URL is not working for remote Runtime Page

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: about:debugging, defect, P3)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

When connected to a remote runtime, we cannot simply open the manifest URL in a tab to display it, we will need something different.

I will give a few more details:
- in a runtime page, each addon shows a Manifest URL link
- clicking on this link should open the manifest for the addon in a new tab

This feature is currently only working in This Firefox. It should work for remote runtimes (or be hidden).
Note that after this bug was filed we:
1 - hid the addons from Remote runtime pages (because it was considered too buggy)
2 - made the viewport too narrow, so much that it hides the links even on the This Firefox page

When enabling extensions for USB and network runtimes, we also hid the manifest URL for them. It is only shown for this Firefox now.

Technically I think this lowers the priority on this issue, and we might downgrade it to P3 if we need to make room for more urgent bugs.
