1576653 - Add a DevTools option in the Browser Toolbox to toggle devtools.browsertoolbox.fission

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

Even though there are many creative ways to set a preference on the Browser Toolbox profile, it will be easier to have a checkbox option in the options panel that toggles devtools.browsertoolbox.fission.

This option should only be available in the Browser Toolbox.

Even though there are many creative ways to set a preference on the Browser Toolbox profile

While I remember, here are some of the tricks shared by DevTools peers to set preferences on the Browser Toolbox profile:

• (macos only): right click on the icon of the Browser Toolbox in the dock, select "New Window" and navigate to about:config in this new window
• create a script updating the preference, and set it as the MOZ_TOOLBOX_TEST_SCRIPT environment variable
• open Scratchpad in the browser toolbox, click on the deprecation link. It will open a new window, from there go to about:config
• open your profile folder, go to chrome_debugger_profile, update prefs.js
• open the Browser Toolbox's Toolbox, and either call Services.prefs from there, or use window.open etc...

Retroactively moving fixed bugs whose summaries mention "Fission" (or other Fission-related keywords) but are not assigned to a Fission Milestone to an appropriate Fission Milestone.

This will generate a lot of bugmail, so you can filter your bugmail for the following UUID and delete them en masse:
