Bug 1698068 introduced a new setting in the debugger source tree to show/hide the extension content scripts.
This made the "enable browser and add-on debugging toolboxes" setting irrelevant about the addons as this setting is only required:

  • to open a listening server, via --start-debugger-server (which also require the remote-debugging pref. May be we could only expect the remote-debugging pref?)
  • to show chrome listeners in the inspector (May be we should have a dedicated setting in the inspector?)
  • to open the browser toolbox (which also require the remote-debugging pref. This will effectively also enable some remote-debugging behind the scene, so may be it is justified)
