1928336 - Avoid showing the target's URL for WebExtensions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Alexandre Poirot [:ochameau]]

To followup on bug 1754452 review discussion, we should hide the top level target URL always displayed in WebExtension toolboxes as it always refers to the fallback document, which is confusing and not useful.
Also, this made me realize that the toolbox host window title isn't updated on target selection, which could be an helpful way to keep track of the currently selected target URL.
If we combine these two, may be we could and should hide the target URL anytime we are in a Window host? But I imagine that this combination only occurs when debugging add-ons. We only show this for remote debugging and I think you can only have the window host for add-ons.

The target info url is misleading as it only refers to the top level target URL,
which in the case of add-ons is always the fallback document.
And it is also redundant with the toolbox window title which, thanks to this patch,
will be updated to the currently selected target title+url.
