1712902 - Conditionally enable WebDriver Bidi on Nightly channel only

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Remote Protocol :: Agent, task, P2)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

Until we have a stable implementation for WebDriver BiDi we should restrict its usage to the Nightly channel only. As such we would like to introduce a new numeric preference called remote.active-protocols that accepts the following states:

• 1: BiDi only
• 2: CDP only
• 3: CDP + BiDi

By default the preference value will be set to 3 for the nightly channel to have both protocols active. On other release channels the preference will default to 2.

We should get this preference added before starting with any BiDi specific implementation.

This can be similar to what has been removed by https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/d0a1a16b7aa0 to get support for Remote Agent on all the release channels. Just the reverse.

As long as the upcoming WebDriver BiDi implementation isn't stable
enough, it will only be enabled for Nighlty builds for now.
