1538632 - [remote-dbg-next] Show a deprecation notice on WebIDE

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: about:debugging, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

We should pref off WebIDE in Firefox 69 and eventually remove it in Firefox 70.
We want to show a deprecation notice in WebIDE in Firefox 68 to let users know about the upcoming change.

This bug is about implementing this deprecation message.

The exact wording of the message is not decided yet.
The message should explain that WebIDE is being replaced by the new version of about:debugging, and should provide a link to about:debugging.

Regarding the implementation we could reuse the error message which is used to display the compatibility errors (client/webide/content/webide.js#283-306).

This message should also be dismissable, and once the user closes it, it should not come back again.
