1540060 - Dev Tools "Invoke getters confirmation" is annoying

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1534706

(DevTools :: Console, defect)

Description

[nanaya]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

0. open dev tools console
1. add customer variable as mentioned in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1499289#c0
2. type customer.identity.
3. not allow (esc, backspace)
4. type name.
5. erase line
6. type customer.identity.name.

Actual results:

The same popup appears again, can't type anything until confirming. If not allowed (with esc, backspace), it'll ask the same confirmation again and again for every single following dots.

It gets old real quick, distracts from actual task, and no way to just say "please never confirm invoking getters" or just ignore the confirmation.

Expected results:

Remembers to not invoke getters. Or maybe just not steal focus so one can allow it later if they actually need it while allowing them to keep typing without having to press esc every single time.

Hell nanaya, thanks for filing a bug.
We already had this feedback on Bug 1534706, so I'm going to set this bug as duplicate.

I'll try to make it better for the 68 release so it's not that annoying :/

Thanks. Sorry for creating duplicate. I did look for existing issue but I guess I didn't look hard enough.

Don't be, it's hard to find duplicate, we all have different words to describe the same issues :)
