1770139 - Tests could rely on MOZ_REMOTE_SETTINGS_DEVTOOLS env var instead of MOZ_DISABLE_NONLOCAL_CONNECTIONS

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Remote Settings Client, enhancement)

Description

[Mathieu Leplatre [:leplatrem]]

In order to remove code paths in our tests and Utils.jsm we could set the MOZ_REMOTE_SETTINGS_DEVTOOLS env var in the tests suites that require it.

Or if Cu.isInAutomation were to be true in xpcshell tests (bug 1598804), then the implementation could simply check Cu.isInAutomation.

The implementation can already use Cu.isInAutomation if tests set the security.turn_off_all_security_so_that_viruses_can_take_over_this_computer pref.
