Details

Bug 1785106 will make it so that the top level target actor (parent process target actor) for the regular browser toolboxes to be created by the watcher actor when watching for the FRAME target type.
This will stop instantiating it manually from the client codebase, by the process descriptor front.

But it will still be the case when the browser toolbox debugs two special edge cases:

  • xpcshell test debugging
  • windowless firefox runs

We need to tweak the watcher actor in order to support these two special debugging contexts.
