Steps to reproduce:
Hit a breakpoint in Javascript code.
Actual results:
The web page is covered with a white debug overlay indicating Javascript execution is paused. I would like to disable this, as I'm trying to debug canvas drawing operations and the white overlay makes it harder for me to see what is going on.
Expected results:
Bug 1579768 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1579768) says we can hide the debug overlay by setting devtools.debugger.features.overlay to false. However, this doesn't seem to work in nightly 118 -- searching for that setting showed no results, and adding it didn't make a difference.
The page at https://github.com/firefox-devtools/ux/issues/88) shows some discussion on UI to toggle it, but the discussion stopped in 2019 without clear resolution.
Is there still a way to hide this overlay in nightly 118?

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'DevTools::Debugger' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

We recently removed this preference, but we can try to reintroduce it with a better implementation.

Sadly no, but you can follow this bug to get updates on when this feature will be available again.
