1539451 - [remote-dbg-next] Disable WebIDE and the Connect... page by default

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

In Fx 69 we want to disabled WebIDE by default. A deprecation notice will have been displayed in WebIDE during the 68 cycle (Bug 1538632).

For this bug we should introduce a preference that disables all the remaining entry points for WebIDE.

Should also handle the Connect page at the same time.

Comment 2

[Panos Astithas (he/him) [:past] (please ni?)]

Can we also use the WebIDE keybinding for remote debugging now?

Since the release was postponed by 1 cycle, this should now be handled in Firefox 70 cycle.

Regarding developer documentation, this is mentioned in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Deprecated_tools#WebIDE_and_Connect_page . But we still have a lot of pages mentioning WebIDE

Correct, this might be just changing the future to past tense and removing WebIDE references in more documents.

I double-checked and made a small update to say "was deprecated"

I did a search for WebIDE and all of the pages which still refer to it seem to have been archived. If I see any remaining references as I do the other work, I will remove them.
