809905 - visible Remote Debugging pref for Android

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 871866

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Kevin Dangoor]

On B2G, we now have a visible setting in the developer collection of settings for remote debugging. On Android, you still need to go to about:config and manually tweak the settings. We should add a visible setting for remote debugging to Firefox on Android.

Where should we put such a setting? The app menu has a Settings pane and a Tools submenu and they both seem somewhat appropriate.

Should this bug live in the Firefox for Android component?

Good idea, this is just product frontend work. Hopefully it will get more traction there.

Ian how do we want to implement this in FxA?

[Ian Barlow (:ibarlow)]

I'd be open to including it in Settings, but before we do that I'd like to reorder things in a more sane way. Something like Remote Debugging should exist under some kind of "Advanced" category, which isn't something we have right now.

Ian, if you want a string here, this can't be for 23.

Didn't see this bug when I filed the Remote Debugging bug earlier.
