Comment 1

[Alexandre Poirot [:ochameau]]

Bug 1642599 should be backed out and revisited. This breaks console resources for content process targets.
That's because resource-available-form event isn't declared on content process targets:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/shared/specs/targets/content-process.js#35-43
Registering the events will highlight more work because bug 1642599's patch will spawn duplicated messages as per:

Attachment: Bug 1693854 - Disable console resources in targets other than tabs.

The missing resource-available-form event on content process target specifications
break console resources for content process targets.
Adding this event will probably create duplicate and so requires some more analysis.
