I'm running through the current steps for smoke tests of the Firefox 135 release and I noticed that the debugger has an issue with the source files when inspecting a remote target.
Steps:
- Start Firefox DevEdition 134 as server
- Start Firefox Nightly 135 as client
- Follow the steps at: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools/release.html#inspect-a-remote-target
When I reach step 5 and open the debugger the script.js
source it not shown to me. Also I cannot use Cmd+P to go to that file. It's just not present.

Interesting is that the breakpoint, which I added the last time when I ran these tests, is still working. That means the script.js file is displayed and I can step through. But it's still not listed in the Sources
pane.

WFM, debugging from latest mozilla-central changeset while debugging 134 and 133.

Strange. So after testing with older releases and hitting issues when backward compatible code was removed I was now testing 135 and 134 (as server) again and it works. That means I can no longer reproduce the issue that I was seeing before.

The problem here was actually a custom value for devtools.debugger.project-directory-root
, which I may have set at some point (by accident) to top-level|developer.mozilla.org
. Resetting the preference makes it working again.
