Details

We have rules to allow symlinks to work in dev builds.
These are currently added for all processes, but should only be needed for content.

Currently the builds will use symlinks on Windows (like other platforms) if Developer Mode is on.
It might be useful to have a mozconfig setting for adding the rules, assuming that we could default it on when Developer Mode is enabled.
That way we could restrict the addition of these rules further, but the mozconfig could be used if people wanted to create symlinks without Developer Mode (which requires admin rights).
Alternatively we might detect Developer Mode in Firefox and add that to the conditions for adding the rules.
