GeckoView has a developer config file for setting prefs/env via a special file that can be installed by adb push. As developer convenience, we should add a sudoedit-style command for editing this file.

Steps:

  • pull existing file from device/emu to local temp file
  • provide template file if missing
  • open VISUAL/EDITOR editor on the temp file
  • when saved, push back to the device
  • call am set-debug-app (unless a flag is set to not)
